Low visibility forces Ludhiana-bound flight to land in Chandigarh

Ludhiana: Passengers had a harrowing time on Friday after a Delhi-Ludhiana flight was forced to land in Chandigarh due to low visibility at the Sahnewal airport. They had to reach Ludhiana from Chandigarh in buses and taxis in pouring rain.
The Ludhiana-bound Air India flight took off from Delhi as usual, but just when it was about to land in Ludhiana, the visibility around the airport became low. As landings at the airport are still dependent on natural light, the flight was not able to land. The plane kept hovering above the airport for some time and finally was diverted to Chandigarh.
