An Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in a waterlogged region of Muzaffarpur district, Bihar, on Wednesday after it encountered a technical issue, officials confirmed. According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rakesh Kumar, the helicopter was returning from Darbhanga, where it had air-dropped relief materials for flood-affected residents.
