A brief moment of alert was seen among the administrative and police officials in Agra district, Uttar Pradesh, after information was received about a possible emergency landing of a chartered aircraft carrying Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant.
According to official sources, the chartered plane carrying the CJI was on its way to Saifai in Etawah district, where Justice Surya Kant was scheduled to attend the 33rd Saraswat ceremony of the Etawah Hindi Seva Nidhi, an institution established by Justice Prem Shankar Gupta.
The event was organised to promote Hindi language and literature.
The aircraft was originally scheduled to land at Saifai airport at around 11:30 am.
However, during the journey, officials in Agra received information that weather conditions towards Etawah had worsened, raising the possibility that the aircraft might be forced to make an emergency landing at Kheria Airport in Agra.
Following this alert, senior district and police officials immediately rushed to Kheria Airport.
At the time, District Magistrate Arvind Malappa Bangari, Additional District Magistrate (Protocol) Prashant Tiwari, and other administrative officers were attending the Samadhan Diwas programme in Fatehabad, but they left midway and reached the airport without delay.
