Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s helicopter had to make an emergency landing at the police lines in Varanasi just a few minutes after take-off on Sunday.
After his two-day visit to Varanasi, Yogi was leaving for Sultanpur to pay tributes to former MLA Surya Bhan Singh but the helicopter had to make an emergency landing following a bird hit.
According to Divisional Commissioner Deepak Agrawal, the chopper was hit by a bird and the pilot, in a bid to avoid any problem, decided to make the emergency landing in Varanasi. District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma said the CM and other staff were safe and they left for Lucknow from a state plane.
