Lucknow, Mar 7: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya’s helicopter had to make an emergency landing at Lucknow airport on Saturday after developing a technical snag shortly after taking off from the La Martiniere College helipad, sources said.
The chopper, carrying Maurya, his aide Vivek, and two pilots, along with another passenger, showed signs of smoke inside the cabin soon after departure. The pilots promptly executed an emergency landing, ensuring the safety of all on board.
