Ahmedabad: An Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopter made a precautionary landing near Bhavnagar district in Gujarat this morning after it developed a technical snag while flying from Surat to Jamnagar, an official said.
All nine crew members on board the helicopter were safe, he said.

“The medium lift helicopter of SWAC encountered a technical snag and it made a safe precautionary landing 15 nautical miles south of Bhavnagar while flying from Surat to Jamnagar,” he said in a statement.
