Sonia’\\\'s plane makes emergency landing in Agra

Indian Congress president Sonia Gandhi's plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Agra due to gutsy winds and bad weather in New Delhi late Thursday, an official said on Friday.
Similarly, Chief Minister of Utter Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav and his wife Dimple Yadav, MP, had a narrow escape when their helicopter was hit by a bird and the window pane was smashed in the incident.
Sources said Gandhi was on way back to the capital after addressing a series of election meetings in Uttar Pradesh, the last one being in Gorakhpur.
The plane landed at the Kheria airport in Agra "under emergency procedures", an official said, adding that the Congress president then rested for a while at the VIP lounge and waited for the weather in Delhi to clear.
Gandhi flew back to Delhi after spending an hour at the Kheria airport.
In the past weeks, former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati too had a close shave when the plane's rear wheel remained stuck during landing at the Lucknow airport, according to BSS.
