Dehradun: Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar’s helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing at Uttarakhand’s Munsyari due to inclement weather, according to the Disaster Management department, Pithoragarh district.
The chopper was diverted due to unfavourable weather conditions in Kumaon region.
According to officials, the chopper was en route to Milam in Munsyari from Dehradun, reported The New Indian Express.
The CEC and Uttarakhand’s additional Chief Election Officer Vijay Kumar Jogdande were on way to Milam, but had their official visit cut short. No injury or damage was reported.
“We were informed by the pilot that due to deteriorating weather conditions in the Milam area, it was impossible to fly further. Therefore, the helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing at Ralm, short of its destination,” informed a Disaster Management Office spokesperson.
