										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Experts, specialized equipment, and divers are being sent in, and international assistance is being sought for the deep underwater search for the chopper that fell into Ranjit Sagar Dam in Kathua, Jammu &amp; Kashmir, on August 3, according to the Army.</p>
<p>According to the Army, the operation is still difficult due to near-zero visibility below 50 meters due to the colloidal nature of water this time of year, which affects the accuracy of sonars and other sensors.</p>
<p>Since the chopper went down, two Army Aviation Corps pilots have been missing. Defense spokesperson Lt Col Devender Anand said that expertise and equipment from the army, navy, and Indian Air Force, as well as other agencies and private firms from across the country, had been put to use.</p>
