This is concerning. If there's no crash, where did the initial report come from? Media needs to be more responsible before publishing such alarming news. It creates unnecessary panic, especially for families.

The use of drones and multi-agency teams is impressive. Shows our disaster response is getting better. But the question remains - why was this rumor started in the first place? 🤔

As someone who travels frequently, this is a relief. However, I hope the verification continues for a bit longer. Dense forest areas can sometimes hide debris. Better safe than sorry.

The Collector speaking to villagers directly is the right approach. Local knowledge is key in these remote areas. Glad it seems to be a false alarm. 🙏

While I appreciate the swift action, this incident highlights a problem. Our news channels are too quick to run with unverified "breaking news" for TRPs. This needs to stop. A little more diligence, please.
