Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy's helicopter was reportedly untraceable till a short while ago.

Reports that are just coming in say the helicopter has landed safely in Kurnool district. The chief minister���s whereabouts are still a mystery.

The CM's helicopter had gone off the radar for a while due to heavy rains while on its way to Chittoor district. It was forced to make an emergency landing due to the bad weather, police and Air Traffic Control (ATC) sources said.
