An Indigo airlines flight from Guwahati to Dibrugarh in Assam carrying a Union minister and two legislators from the state landed back at the Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport within minutes after the take-off on Sunday morning.
The flight 6E2652 took off around 8.40am and landed back safely within around 20 minutes. A technical glitch is stated to be the reason for the aircraft’s return.
Among the passengers were Union minister of state for petroleum and natural gas, Rameshwar Teli, and two MLAs from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam, Prasanta Phukan and Terosh Gowala.
