Another chartered plane from Delhi arrived at 5.42 pm, after which the Chief Minister resumed his journey to Lucknow. During this time, he waited for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes at the Agra airport lounge before his departure. Senior police officials deployed in the security of the CM confirmed the same. Authorities have yet to disclose specific details regarding the nature of the technical issue, but aviation experts are likely to conduct a thorough inspection of the aircraft.
The unexpected development created a stir among the local police and administrative officials, who rushed to the airport upon receiving the information. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath remained at the airport lounge as officials assessed the situation.
Yogi attended two major events in Agra on Wednesday. His visit began with a prayer at the Dariyanath Temple in Rajamandi. Later, the CM reached the GIC Ground, where he highlighted the achievements of his eight-year tenure.
