An Indian Air Force plane taking President Pranab Mukherjee to Chennai returned to Delhi on Tuesday after it developed a mid-air technical snag. Mr Mukherjee was heading to Chennai to pay homage to J Jayalalithaa, who died late last night.
The president’s plane developed a minor problem, say sources. Alternative arrangement is being made as the President has reportedly insisted that he wants to go.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also arrived in the Tamil Nadu capital, where lakhs of people are mourning the death of Jayalalithaa, one of India’s most popular politicians.
National mourning has been declared for today and flags will be at half-mast.
