Although the reason for the accident is believed to be bad weather and low visibility, but the real reason will be revealed only after the completion of the investigation. The government has decided to conduct a tri-service inquiry into the matter, which will be headed by Air Marshal Manvendra Singh.
Since it was an army helicopter, for this reason its investigation will also be under the supervision of the army. The investigation team will include senior army officers as well as technical teams. The help of the local police can also be taken in this. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has said that a tri-service inquiry into the accident will be conducted under the leadership of Air Marshal Manvendra Singh. Singh is the Commander of the Training Command of the Indian Air Force and he himself is also a helicopter pilot.
The reason why Air Marshal Manvendra Singh has been entrusted with the investigation of such a big accident is that he himself is a helicopter pilot and has more than 6 thousand hours of flying experience. During this, Siachen has successfully flown over challenging terrains from North-East India, Uttarakhand and Western Desert to Congo. He also has a lot of experience in the subject related to inspection and safety. That is why he has been entrusted with the investigation.
