Emergency teams, including the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and district administration, are conducting operations at the site, per ANI. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, expressing condolences on X, announced a probe and assisted the injured.

The crash occurs amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions following India’s May 6 airstrikes, though no link has been confirmed, per Reuters. Uttarakhand’s challenging terrain, near the Indo-China border, has seen prior aviation incidents, with a 2023 crash killing six, per The Hindu. Dhami’s proactive response, including SDRF deployment, underscores efforts to manage the crisis, but public anxiety persists.
