Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s helicopter is diverted en route to Chennai after adverse weather conditions, according to multiple reports. The diversion is attributed to heavy rain affecting flight operations in and around the city.
One report says the helicopter is diverted to Tambaram, while another says it is diverted to an Indian Air Force station due to heavy rain. Both accounts describe the same disruption: worsening weather leads to a change in the aircraft’s planned route and landing point, indicating that safety and operational constraints affect the travel schedule.
The reports do not describe any injuries or technical failures, and they focus primarily on the weather-related rerouting. The helicopter’s change in destination underscores how Chennai’s rainy conditions can cause last-minute adjustments for officials’ travel.
