"We are demanding from the state as well as the central government to ask China’s help to trace the chopper," Arunachal Citizen Rights (ACR) chairman Bamang Tago said.

All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union (AAPSU) President Takam Tatung alleged "New Delhi is not taking the matter seriously.

"India should immediately take up the matter with China seeking assistance for locating the chopper," he said.

Meanwhile, thousands of people were seen gathering before Khandu’s official residence waiting for information.
