FollowIn an unexpected turn of events, a helicopter carrying Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) experienced a technical snag on Monday (November 6) and had to return to its take-off point at Hyderabad's Erravelli farmhouse. The incident occurred while KCR was en route to Devarakadra in Mahabubnagar district to address a public meeting.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president's helicopter was initially scheduled to fly KCR to Devarakadra, then to Makhtal, and finally to Narayanapet. The Bell helicopter, carrying KCR, took off around 12:15 p.m. but had to return to the farmhouse after flying for approximately 30 minutes. As a precaution, a standby helicopter was arranged for the Chief Minister to continue his journey to Devarakadra.
