The helicopter, carrying army personnel, was on a regular sortie after taking off from Likabali this morning before crashing at 10.43 am.
As there are no motorable roads leading to the village, except a hanging bridge, joint teams of both army and the air force are engaged in the rescue op. Local villagers are also said to be involved in the rescue work.
This is the second helicopter crash in Arunachal Pradesh in October. Earlier this month, a pilot lost his life and several others were injured after a Cheetah helicopter crashed near Tawang.
