After a massive search operation by a team of 19 trekkers including the Garud commandos and Special Forces of the Army, which started last week on Wednesday.
The search operation started a day after the wreckage was spotted in the mountains at a height of around 12,000 feet. However, the mission was affected due to inclement weather. Helicopters including Mi17, Cheetah were unable to reach the site at first.
As per sources, the mortal remains are likely to be taken to Assam's Jorhat first and follow up action will be taken after that.
The black box has suffered damage during the crash which may lead the IAF to take more time in investigating the cause of the accident.
