Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's state aircraft was forced to return to Kheria Airport in Agra shortly after takeoff on Wednesday due to a technical glitch. The aircraft, which had just taken off for Lucknow, experienced a malfunction, prompting an immediate return to the airport. The unexpected development led to a stir among state officials, who rushed to the scene.

A second aircraft was sent from Delhi to facilitate the CM's journey. After thorough safety checks, CM Yogi departed for Lucknow on the replacement plane.
