Debris of the missing Indian Coast Guard Dornier has been located at a depth of 996 metre and 16.5 nautical miles off Pichavaram (famous for the mangrove forest) near Cuddalore.
Indian naval Submarine Sindhudhvaj on redeployment to locate the missing aircraft picked up a ''barrage'' of transmissions in a depth of 996 metre on July 6. This information was a vital source for deployment of the Reliance vessel Olympic Canyon to localise the search.
