New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar could not attend a conference in Ludhiana as his plane could not land at the Halwara Airport because of poor visibility on Tuesday, said officials.
Dhankhar was to attend the international conference on ’Transforming Agrifood Systems in the Face of Climate Changes and Energy Transitions’ at the Punjab Agricultural University, here.
His aircraft landed at the Amritsar airport before he headed to Madhya Pradesh to take part in another event.
Amritsar Deputy Commissioner Sakshi Sahwney said the vice president’s plane landed at the Amritsar airport where he stayed for 40 minutes.
A thick layer of smog has engulfed many parts of Punjab with the air quality index at many places remaining in the “poor” category.
The conference here was, however, attended by Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
