"The pilot of the chopper informed about the technical snag just before the take off for Nagpur in the afternoon," Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police Abhinav Deshmukh told PTI.
Gadchiroli district collector ASR Nayak told PTI "One of the engine of the chopper did not start, maybe due to the intense heat. Hence the chief minister was advised to travel by road."
