A submarine has joined the search for the Dornier aircraft that went missing off the coast of Tamil Nadu on Monday.
The submarine begins its search off the coast of Chidambaram, about 200 km south of Chennai. Meanwhile, a lab tests of a second oil slick in the search area failed to locate aviation fuel, reports NDTV.
The submarine's entry into the search operations comes after a navy ship picked up beacon signals from what is likely to be from the aircraft, which went missing with three crew members on board.
INS Sandhyak picked up the signals south of Puducherry, between Port Novo and Karaikal, close to where the Coast Guard's aircraft is estimated to have disappeared.
