Relevant departments have launched an in-depth investigation into the cause of the accident to determine whether mechanical failure, human error or other factors led to this tragedy.

Aviation safety is of utmost importance. Any accident may bring irreparable losses. The Indian side said it will earnestly sum up experience and lessons, strengthen the maintenance and management of helicopters and other aircraft, improve the training level of pilots and their ability to deal with emergencies, and strive to avoid the recurrence of similar accidents. The public is also worried about the safety of the missing people, looking forward to good news from the search operation as soon as possible. At the same time, it is hoped that India can effectively improve the safety guarantee level in the aviation field and ensure the safety of people's lives and property. At present, the search for the missing people is still in progress.
