A group of protesting farmers attempted to block Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's convoy near Puttaparthi Airport in Anantapur district. The incident happened when Reddy was travelling back to the airport after addressing a public meeting at Narpala mandal on Wednesday.

The farmers have been demanding compensation for 210 acres of land acquired by the state government in Thumparthi and Motumaru areas.

On Wednesday, CM Jagan's helicopter developed a technical snag at Narpala in Anantapur district, forcing him to travel to Puttaparthi by road. The pilot identified a glitch in the fuel supply system of the chopper before taking off at Narpala. The Chief Minister then left for Puttaparthi Airport by road, IANS reported.

In January, the Chief Minister's flight made an emergency landing at Gannavaram Airport after a technical snag. The chartered aircraft in which the Chief Minister and senior officials were travelling to New Delhi returned to the airport around 30 minutes after takeoff.

The pilot identified an AC valve leakage, which led to a problem in the pressurisation system. This forced the pilot to return to the airport to ensure the safety of the passengers.
