Gwalior, Nov. 10 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Governor Rameshwar Thakur had a narrow escape on Tuesday when the state government-owned plane they were travelling in aborted landing after two vehicles were spotted on the runaway of Gwalior airport.
“The plane was barely a few feet above the runway when the pilot spotted the vehicles. He immediately aborted landing and took a go-around,” said Manoj Srivastava, Madhya Pradesh Public Relations Commissioner.
