Odisha CM Mohan Majhi’s helicopter develops technical snag, Mayurbhanj visit cancelled

Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Majhi’s scheduled visit to Mayurbhanj has been cancelled after his helicopter developed a technical snag on Sunday afternoon.

According to a source, CM Majhi is heading to Bhubaneswar from Keonjhar by road after cancelling his Mayurbhanj visit.

Majhi was on a three-day tour to his home district Keonjhar and neighbouring Mayurbhanj from Friday.

He was scheduled to visit Baripada town in Mayurbhanj district from Keonjhar this afternoon. However, his chopper suddenly developed some technical glitches, the officials said.

Due to the problem, the chief minister cancelled his Baripada visit and started his return journey to Bhubaneswar by road, they said.

On the third day of his visit, Majhi attended a programme organised to celebrate the completion of 100 days of the new BJP government in Odisha.
