Fog forces CM's chopper to skip Purnia town

Patna: The chopper carrying chief minister Nitish Kumar to Purnia for his 'Seva Yatra', had to be diverted to Bardella village, 60km away from Purnia town, due to inclement weather on Thursday.
The CM was scheduled to land at the Ranbhoomi Maidan at 11.40am. "Even the take-off from Patna was delayed due to reports of foggy weather conditions in Purnia. Instead of 10.30am, the chopper took off at 1.10pm," airport sources said.
The CM's no-show at the Ranbhoomi Maidan led to spread of rumours in Patna and Purnia that the chopper had developed snags. Some TV channels even reported emergency landing by the chopper.
