Bihar: IAF chopper on flood relief work makes emergency landing in flooded area

An advanced light helicopter of the Indian Air Force (IAF), deployed for flood relief operation in Bihar’s Sitamarhi district, made an emergency landing in a waterlogged area after developing a major technical snag at Nayagaon village under Aurai block in Muzaffarpur district on Wednesday. According to an eyewitness, the chopper’s glass panes were cracked, and the blades and other parts were damaged, making it very evident that the pilot had no other option but to land the “wobbling aircraft” at the nearest point, even in water.
