Inclement weather prevented Chief minister Naveen Patnaik’s chartered flight to land here at the Biju Patnaik airport. The plane was diverted to Visakhapatnam airport where it landed safely. Airport authorities confirmed that due to zero visibility, the flight was sent back to Visakhapatnam airport where it had taken off. Patnaik was returning to Bhubaneswar via Visakhapatnam after a day-long visit to Koraput district.
