Earlier in the day on Monday, a state government plane carrying Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis to Jalgaon district returned to Mumbai after it encountered bad weather, an official from the CM's office said.
Shinde and Fadnavis were headed to Jamner in Jalgaon district in the state, located around 415 kilometres from Mumbai, to attend a programme, 'Banjara Kumbh 2023', where Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was a key speaker.
The flight took off from Mumbai, but had to return due to inclement weather, the official in the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said. Shinde and Fadnavis later attended the programme via video-conferencing, the official added.
A large number of leaders from the Banjara community as well as Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) functionaries were present at the event.
