Bengal CM's helicopter makes emergency landing at Kolaghat due to inclement weather conditions

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's helicopter on Tuesday made an emergency landing at Kolaghat in Purba Medinipur district due to inclement weather conditions, officials said.

The CM had left by helicopter for Keshpur from Dumdum, but the pilot decided in favour of landing at an open ground in Kolaghat as a precaution, they said.

The CM was on his way to Keshpur to attend a programme to pay respect to freedom fighter Khudiram Bose.

Adhikari started by road on the way to the scheduled venue at Keshpur in Paschim Medinipur district, they said.
