राष्ट्रपति मुर्मू की सुरक्षा में बड़ी चूक उजागर, हेलीकॉप्टर लैंड होते ही धंसा हैलीपैड
Major lapses have been observed in the security of President Draupadi Murmu, who is on a visit to Kerala. An unexpected incident occurred during President Murmu’s arrival to visit the Sabarimala Temple on Wednesday. The helipad at the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Pramadam caved in while the President’s helicopter was landing.
Following the incident, police and Fire and Rescue Service personnel ensured the helicopter’s safety. President Murmu, along with the security personnel and crew, are reported to be safe.
According to reports, the President’s helicopter was originally scheduled to land in Nilakkal, but due to bad weather and rain, the landing site was changed to Pramadam Stadium in Pathanamthitta late Friday evening. New concrete had been hastily poured onto the helipad, but it had not fully dried.
As soon as the President’s helicopter landed, its wheels sank into the wet concrete. However, security officials and ground staff took immediate action to control the situation. President Draupadi Murmu later departed for the Sabarimala Temple as scheduled.
President Murmu is on a four-day visit to Kerala, which began on October 21. On October 22, President Murmu will perform Darshan and Aarti at the Sabarimala Temple.
On October 23, the President will unveil the statue of former President K.R. Narayanan in Thiruvananthapuram. She will then attend the inauguration of the Mahasamadhi Centenary Celebrations of Sri Narayana Guru at the Sivagiri Mutt in Varkala. Later, she will also attend the closing ceremony of the Platinum Jubilee (75th anniversary) of St. Thomas College, Palai.
On October 24, the President will attend the Centenary Celebrations of St. Teresa’s College, Ernakulam, as the Chief Guest.
