New Delhi:
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s flight was one of 11 flights diverted to Agra on Friday due to inclement weather in the national capital, sources said.
According to sources, the defense minister was on his way back to Delhi after attending a function at the Shree Swaminarayan Temple in Vadodara in Gujarat, where he addressed a public gathering.
At least 11 flights, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s flight scheduled to land at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, were diverted to Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow and Agra due to adverse weather conditions, sources said.
Meanwhile, Friday’s rain in parts of Delhi provided much-needed relief from the scorching heat as the drizzle and breeze resulted in a drop in temperature.
