Nitish’s helicopter makes emergency landing

Patna,(BiharTimes): A Bell 430 helicopter carrying Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, his cabinet colleague, Narendra Singh and Janata Dal (United) Rajya Sabha MP Shivanand Tiwari had to make an emergency landing soon after take-off on Saturday morning as the pilot heard some unusual sound coming from the rear of the chopper and its door was found to be open.

The three leaders were returning from Gidhaur in Jamui district after paying their condolences to the family of late MP, Digvijay Singh.

According to reports the helicopter door was not closed properly while two plastic objects kept at the rear collided with each other, making a sound that caused the pilots to land the chopper. After an inspection, the pilots took off again at 11.50 AM. They said there was no cause for concern and they were only taking the utmost precaution.
