Delhi-bound IndiGo flight makes emergency landing in Bhubaneswar due to technical snag
Bhubaneswar (PTI): A Delhi-bound IndiGo flight made an emergency landing at the airport here on Monday due to some technical snag, an official said.
All passengers are safe, he said.
The aircraft made the landing 40 minutes after taking off from the Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA).
"After the detection of technical problems mid-air, the Delhi-bound IndiGo flight made the emergency landing at the airport at 8.20 am," BPIA Director Prasanna Pradhan told PTI.
A full-scale emergency was declared, and the aircraft landed safely at the airport, he said.
"All passengers are safe. We suspect that the technical problem was developed due to a bird hit," the official said, adding that the aircraft can again fly only after getting clearances from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
"Shortly after taking off, the pilot informed us about the technical problem and the aircraft made the landing at the Bhubaneswar airport safely," Trinath Lenka, a passenger on the flight, said.

MP CM Yadav announces credit cards, financial aid for cow keepers
Bhopal, Nov 2: The Madhya Pradesh government will provide credit cards to those rearing cows and their progeny, similar to those available to farmers, to help manage the upkeep of cattle, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced on Saturday.
“Along with the people growing crops, credit cards will also be made available to those rearing cows and their progeny to enable them to manage expenses on their care,” Yadav said during the state-level ‘Govardhan Puja’ ceremony at Ravindra Bhawan here.
He said that people who care for more than 10 cows will be given special financial aid, adding that the state government will invest and make arrangements for rearing 5,000 to 10,000 cows under the limits of municipal Corporations.
He said that people found guilty of slaughtering cows in MP will get seven years of imprisonment.
Earlier, he took part in the Govardhan Puja at his official house.
Later in Gwalior, where he attended two such events, Yadav said the state would protect the cow and its offspring.
Ministers and MLAs across the state also participated in Govardhan Puja.
Before holding this function at the state level, the BJP government in MP had organised ‘Shastra Puja’ (worshipping of weapons) on Dussehra in a similar manner, with the CM, his ministers and MLAs across the state joining in.
