Mumbai: A chopper carrying Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and his team developed a snag during take-off in Latur, Maharashtra, PTI reported.

The chief minister, however, escaped unhurt.

“Chopper with Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis onboard crash-lands in Latur, CM and team escapes unhurt," tweets ANI.

“Our helicopter did meet with an accident in Latur but me and my team is absolutely safe, nothing to worry, tweets Maharashtra CM".

Fadnavis was slated to meet farmers in Latur district of Marathwada region as part of ‘Shivar Samwad Sabha’ to be launched on Thursday.

The chief minister, during his speech at BJP state working committee’s meeting last month in Pimpri Chinchwad near Pune, had announced that the party will hold the ‘Shivar Samwad Sabha’ in the state, PTI reported.

The four-day initiative is being launched amid the rising resentment among farmers across the state over delay in procurement of tur this year. Nearly 4,000 elected representatives of the party will participate in the campaign and hold meetings with farmers at various locations.
