Missing fighter pilot’s parents now look for son in Himachal

Shimla : The parents of the missing IAF MIG-29 pilot are now in the Lahaul valley scouting the bleak and barren mountains searching of their missing son whose plane crashed in the region a week ago .

“Parents of the missing pilot have requested the locals to help find their missing son . They have even announced a sum of Rs 50,000 for finding him,” said Rajeev Shankar , DC Lahaul & Spiti .

Search operations have been hampered by snow and cold in the inhospitable terrain of Lahaul where temperatures are already far below freezing .

The MIG-29 went missing Tuesday . Largely uninhabited Lahaul Spiti is the second largest district in India .
