Following the emergency landing, Mamata Banerjee flew back to Kolkata via a flight from Bagdogra Airport. Upon her arrival, she was promptly taken to the state-run SSKM Hospital, where she underwent an MRI scan to assess her injuries.
According to officials, the MRI scan was conducted soon after Mamata reached Kolkata. Doctors examined her injuries, and while they did not appear to be serious, they are awaiting the MRI report for further evaluation. The decision regarding hospitalization will be made based on the findings of the report. Multiple specialist doctors are closely monitoring her condition.
Reports indicate that the pilot made the decision to initiate the emergency landing due to severe weather conditions and the helicopter’s uncontrollable shaking. Mamata Banerjee was returning to Kolkata after a two-day trip to the northern districts of West Bengal, where she was campaigning for the upcoming panchayat elections scheduled on July 8.
The incident has garnered attention and concern from various quarters, with politicians and citizens alike wishing for Mamata Banerjee’s swift recovery.
As the medical evaluations continue and Mamata Banerjee’s health is closely monitored, people across the nation are hoping for her quick recuperation, allowing her to resume her duties and work towards the betterment of West Bengal and the entire country.
