Watch: Crowds, Flower Shower As Convoy Takes Bodies Of Gen Rawat, Others

Locals showered flower petals on ambulances carrying the bodies of Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, his wife and 11 other personnel who were killed in a horrific chopper crash on Wednesday. Hundreds had lined up along the entrance of the Sulur airbase in Tamil Nadu, chanting "Bharat Mata ki Jai". The bodies were brought here from the Madras Regimental Centre in the state's Nilgiris district where Telangana Governor and Puducherry Lt Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and senior military officials paid their last respects to the killed personnel. Traffic on the route was diverted to prevent any disruptions.
