In an unexpected turn of events, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aircraft encountered a technical snag at Deoghar airport, leading to a delay in his scheduled return to Delhi, as reported by ANI.

The incident occurred shortly after the Prime Minister concluded his engagements in the region. As a precautionary measure, the aircraft was grounded while technical teams worked to identify and resolve the issue.

The Prime Minister held two rallies in Jharkhand today to mark the anniversary of tribal icon Birsa Munda, celebrated as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas. The events come just days ahead of the second phase of polling for the state’s Assembly elections on November 20.
