Union Minister of State Kiren Rijiju’s helicopter today made an emergency landing near Itanagar due to heavy fog and rain. Rijiju escaped unhurt.
According to reports, the helicopter was caught in heavy rain and fog, which made navigation difficult due to the low visibility. The experienced BSF pilots managed to keep the chopper steady and manoeuvre it around for 10 minutes amid the rain, before finding a small strip for a safe landing.
