With a Sukhoi fighter aircraft, a special air craft from Indian Space Research Organization and another low flying aircraft of the state government completing a comprehensive aerial survey of Nallamalla forest area to find missing Andhra Pradesh CM Y S Rajashekhara Reddy's helicopter on Wednesday night and gathering crucial data including the photographs, focus of the search operation on Thursday will move to the ground.
Rosaiah was administered the oath of office and secrecy at a simple ceremony by Governor Narayan Dutt Tiwari at the Raj Bhavan.
Andhra Pradesh Finance Minister K Rosaiah said the government would not cancel the projects awarded to Satyam sister concern Maytas Infra or blacklist the company. Instead, it would prefer to tackle each project individually. There would be legal complications and a price the government would have to pay if it calls off a project awarded to a company and vice-versa. Also, the re-tendering of the same work may be costlier due to the variation in prices, he said.
A helicopter carrying Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy today went missing on its way to Chittoor district.
