Due to bad weather, Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel's helicopter today landed at the airport here instead of Daman.
"Her helicopter landed at Surat airport today after it was advised not to land at Daman due to heavy rains there. She travelled by road to attend several programmes (in South Gujarat). While coming to Ahmedabad, the Chief Minister boarded her chopper from Vadodara airport," a source in the CMO said.
As the Chief Minister had to travel by road, she was delayed in attending several programmes at Valsad, Vapi and Vadodara.
She attended Amravan programme in Valsad and then a 'Van Mahotsava' event nearby. Then her cavalcade went to Vapi where she inaugurated a number of developmental projects. From Vapi, she travelled to Vadodara to attend a BJP programme.
"Dedicated Amra Van, a culture forest at the celebrations of state-wide 67th van mahotsava in kaprada taluka of Vansad," Patel tweeted.
"Dedicated several developmental works of more than Rs 58 crore on occasion of silver jubilee of Vapi Municipality.
"Delighted & proud to share that Vapi, Navsari, Bilimora, Vijalpore, Gandevi & Songadh towns are now Open Defecation Free," the Chief Minister said in a series of tweets.
