Delhi-bound flight returns to Patna airportafter bird strike, all passengers safe
1 2 3 Patna: A Delhi-bound flight carrying 175 passengers and crew members had a close call when the plane encountered a bird strike soon after taking off from the Jayprakash Narayan International Airport on Wednesday morning. The IndiGo Airlines aircraft, operating the Patna-Delhi route, experienced turbulence shortly after becoming airborne, necessitating its return to Patna. Confirming the incident, airport director Krishna Mohan Nehra said the flight 6E-5009 from Patna to Delhi reported a bird hit after take-off at 8.42am on Wednesday. "Soon after departure, a message was received by ATC (air traffic control) that the pilot requested to return to Patna due to vibration in one engine of the aircraft. Local standby was declared, and the aircraft landed safely at 9.03am on Runway 07," he said, adding that all the passengers are safe. The director also said that bird remains were found on the runway during inspection. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials said the flight has been grounded, and engineers are assessing the extent of the damage to the aircraft. The Delhi-bound flight after being in the air for 20 minutes returned to the Patna airport. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Don't Bother With An Expensive Will (Do This Instead) Local Will Finder Undo It was scheduled to land at Delhi's IGI Airport at 10.15am. Airlines executives said alternative arrangements were made for the affected passengers. "Due to the bird hit, the plane's engine blade was found damaged. The aircraft has been grounded to carry out extensive checks," they said. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has started its inquiry into the incident. As per the data shared by the ATC-Patna, a total of eight bird hit cases have been reported this year. The airport officials claimed that the presence of abattoirs in the Phulwarisharif area, accumulated water, overgrown grass in the vicinity, and insects on grass due to rain are some of the main reasons for attracting the birds in the airport area. The transfer station at Gardanibagh for segregation of waste of New Capital Circle under Patna Municipal Corporation, which is approximately 800 metres away from the airport, is another attraction for birds. Patna divisional commissioner Chandrashekhar Singh, who is also the chairman of the Airport Environment Management Committee (AEMC), told this reporter that open shops selling meat have been removed, and it was verified by the officials as well. "The transfer station will be closed and shifted to Yarpur before Aug 15," he said. "There is still an issue near the railway line on the Phulwarisharif side where waterlogging occurs. In the last meeting, it was decided that the civic body would inspect the drains and redirect them to prevent water from reaching the railway line. A plan has been made to address it. The officials concerned are working on it, and we will review it to ensure it is completed quickly. Other issues have been gradually resolved," Singh said. On July 7, Air India's flight (AI-2634) from Patna to Delhi was delayed by over seven hours after it developed a technical glitch. On Jan 3, IndiGo flight (6E-2074) with 187 passengers, including former minister Sanjay Jha and JD(U) MP Sunil Kumar Pintu, made an emergency landing at Patna.

The pilgrims fell into a gorge after being hit by boulders tumbling from the hillside. The two pilgrims still missing are Bhavika Sharma from Delhi and Kamlesh Jethwa from Mumbai. A pilgrim from Mumbai was rescued in an injured condition and two mutilated bodies were recovered from the rubble of the landslide on Monday night. The injured pilgrim, identified as Rasik, is undergoing treatment at a public health centre in Jankichatti and his condition is stated to be stable. The two mutilated bodies were identified as Harishankar from Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh and his daughter Khyati , the officials added. The DM has directed officials to provide all possible assistance to the families of those killed and injured. With the yatra through the trek route kept on hold temporarily due to rescue work and road repairs, the administration has stopped the pilgrims going to the Yamunotri Dham at various places from Damta to Jankichatti, including Naugaon, Barkot, Dobata, Gangani, Kharadi, Paligad, Syalna and Rana Chatti, for their safety. Apart from this, the work of cleaning and arranging an alternative route to the temple is also in progress which is likely to be completed by Tuesday night.
