Search for the missing AN-32 Indian Air Force plane continued with Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar saying that around four-five search leads had turned out to be "bad".
The AN-32 which went missing on July 22 with 29 people on board remains untraced despite massive search operations in the Bay of Bengal, the authorities said on Tuesday.
Parrikar told reporters that the agencies are trying to concentrate on some links or sound emitting from some area in the sea.
He also discounted reports of the airworthiness of the AN-32, saying it is one of "the safest aircraft the IAF flies".
