Bhubaneswar: With nor’wester-induced rain and strong wind lashing Bhubaneswar, the chopper of Chief Minister and BJD president Naveen Patnaik, who was on a marathon campaign at Bhawanipatna in Kalahandi district and Khariar in Nuapada, was diverted to Jharsuguda on Monday.
According to sources, the CM and 5T chairman V K Pandian boarded the aircraft at Khariar. His chopper, however, hovered for around 30 minutes but failed to land in Bhubaneswar due to bad weather conditions around 3-3.30 pm. It was then diverted to Veer Surendra Sai Airport in Jharsuguda, from where it took off after around 20 minutes.
