Modi stuck on flyover for 20 mins

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Punjab on Wednesday where he was scheduled to address a mega rally in Ferozepur. However, bad weather prevented his chopper from proceeding from Bathinda to the venue of the rally. According to reports, PM Modi waited for about 20 minutes for the weather to clear out.

“PM landed at Bathinda from where he was to go to the National Martyrs Memorial at Hussainiwala by helicopter. Due to rain and poor visibility, the PM waited for about 20 minutes for the weather to clear out,” a statement from the Home Ministry said.

When the weather didn’t improve, it was decided that he would visit the National Martyrs Memorial via road, which would take more than 2 hours. He proceeded to travel by road after necessary confirmation of necessary security arrangements by the DGP Punjab Police.

“Around 30 kms away from the National Martyrs Memorial in Hussainiwala, when the PM’s convoy reached a flyover, it was found that the road was blocked by some protestors. The PM was stuck on a flyover for 15-20 minutes. This was a major lapse in the security of the PM,” it said.
