The West Bengal government has sought to know from the aviation regulator if approval was accorded for the route taken by Mamata Banerjee's chartered flight.
Two days after her chartered flight experienced mid-air turbulence, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said another aircraft had come in front of her plane, and it was the prompt action of the pilot that averted a head-on collision.
The Bengal government had on Saturday sought a report from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) after Banerjee's aircraft encountered turbulence, leaving her back and chest injured.
The state government also sought to know from the DGCA if approval was accorded for the route taken by Ms Banerjee's chartered flight.
She was returning from Uttar Pradesh after winding up her campaign for the Samajwadi Party.
