Chief Minister M.K. Stalin wrote to the families of each of the persons, who were killed in the helicopter crash in Coonoor on Wednesday afternoon, expressing his condolences and said their demise was irreparable.
“In his letter to families of each of those who were killed in the accident, the Chief Minister expressed his deep condolences, and observed that people stood by them in the hour of grief and wished them strength and courage to bear the irreparable loss,” an official release said.
Soon after the incident, Mr. Stalin visited the Nilgiris district and paid floral tributes to the mortal remains of those who were killed in the helicopter crash near Coonoor.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
