NEW DELHI, July 18: The Bengaluru – Delhi fight carrying the former Congress presidents Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi made an emergency landing in Bhopal due to rough weather this evening. The Gandhis were returning from the two-day opposition conclave held in Bengaluru attended by 26 parties.
The Bhopal police attributed the flight’s emergency landing to bad weather.
Bhopal police commissioner Harinarayan Chari Mishra said the aircraft was expected to take off for onward journey later in the night.
“We are on the way to the airport after getting information about the emergency landing,” senior Congress leader Shoba Oza said.
