Shillong: The helicopter in which External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was travelling in Meghalaya Friday failed to land here due to poor visibility, an official said. ”Sushma Swaraj has cancelled her visit to Shillong as the Mi-17 helicopter of the Indian Air Force carrying her couldn’t land at the helipad due to bad weather,” Sanjay Goyal, district magistrate of East Khasi Hills, told IANS.
Sushma Swaraj was accompanied by Minister of State for External Affairs and Overseas Indian Affairs General V.K. Singh (retd). He, however, said the helicopter landed safely at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati. The external affairs minister was scheduled to inaugurate Shillong Passport Seva Kendra, which will now be inaugurated by Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma in the later part of the day.
