A tense situation was averted today when an IndiGo flight carrying 166 people from Kolkata to Srinagar had to make an unscheduled emergency landing in Varanasi. The reason for the diversion was a detected fuel leak, which necessitated immediate action for passenger and crew safety. The aircraft touched down safely at Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport, and a prompt evacuation ensured everyone was safe. Officials are now examining the aircraft and the circumstances surrounding the fuel leak. Normal airport operations have recommenced in Varanasi, with authorities assuring the public of stringent safety measures.
