The IAF has put in all its resources and efforts for the ongoing search.

Top developments :

1. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has also pressed into service its RISAT series of radar imaging satellites to hunt for the missing Indian Air Force An-32 aircraft.
2. Indian Navy deploys P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft from INS Rajali in Arakonam, Tamil Nadu to join the ongoing rescue efforts in Arunachal Pradesh.

The Air Force has deployed two Mi-17s and one Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) as well as IAF's C-130J Super Hercules in the hunt for the missing aircraft but were unable to fly on Wednesday morning due to bad weather in the region where it is suspected to have gone missing.
