On a visit to the Haldia Dock Complex (HDC) of Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) Haldia , the red carpet rolled out for the minister for transport, roadways and shipping was blown up by the chopper’s downdraft and got entangled in its rotor blades.
The chopper, however, landed safely and Gadkari and rest of the passengers escaped unhurt. “All passengers on board the helicopter to Haldia are safe. Really appreciate the concerns and well-wishes expressed,” Gadkari tweeted. (IANS)
