A Dhruv Mark 3 advanced light helicopter of the Indian Coast Guard was made an emergency landing in Kochi, Kerala on Sunday.
The pilots of the Coast Guard were testing the chopper when the incident took place, said ICG officials.
The chopper was at around 25 feet height when it had to make a forced landing.
The ICG is working towards resuming the operations of the ALH Dhruv fleet, said ICG officials.
The fleet of the Dhruv choppers has been grounded since March 8 after a Navy chopper met with an accident off the coast of Mumbai. -- ANI
