An Indian Air Force helicopter in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy develops a technical snag and remains parked at the Jayachamaraja Wadiyar helipad near Lalit Mahal in Mysuru, Karnataka. Modi and other convoy members continue their onward journey using one of the other two helicopters after the apparent problem prevents the affected aircraft from taking off.
Reporting describes the helicopter as part of the convoy arrangement for Modi’s Mysuru visit, including the inauguration of the COSMOS-Mysuru Planetarium. Police cordon off the helipad area and provide security, while technical personnel arrive to carry out repair work and efforts continue to make the aircraft fit for further operations. One account says the local authorities have also deployed staff for arrangements and that no official statement had been issued about the exact nature of the snag at the time of reporting.
Across outlets, the core facts—grounding due to a technical glitch and continuation of travel in other helicopters—are consistent, though the level of detail and the inclusion of operational and security measures varies by outlet.
