Patna, Aug 19: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s helicopter today made an emergency landing in Gaya due to bad weather conditions, news agency ANI reported.
The CM was on a scheduled aerial survey of drought-hit areas in Aurangabad, Jehanabad and Gaya districts.
“While returning to Patna, the pilot of the helicopter executed an emergency landing at Gaya International airport due to bad weather conditions,” Vinay Kumar, Inspector General (IG) of Police, Magadh range, told reporters in Gaya.
As the weather conditions did not improve, the Chief Minister took the road route to reach Patna, he said.
Notably, several parts of Bihar have been staring at a drought-like situation due to scanty rainfall. CM Nitish Kumar had earlier said in June that the government was keeping an eye on the monsoon progress and would start taking steps if rains continued to elude Bihar.
