According to officials, a bird hit the window of the Lucknow-bound helicopter after it took off from the airport.
“Subsequently, the pilot requested an emergency landing and the chopper landed back safely at Varanasi's Police Lines Ground. There has been no report of any injury,” they added.
Adityanath reached Varanasi on Saturday to review the development projects and the law and order situation in the city. He instructed officials to examine the projects which are ready for inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“All those projects, which are on the verge of completion, should be completed on a war-footing and also by maintaining all safety standards,” the State Chief told the officials on Saturday evening.
