Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu's two-day Sikkim visit was cancelled today due to inclement weather, officials said.
An ICFAI University spokesperson informed the audience at the convocation function that Naidu could not attend the function as permission could not be granted for the vice president's aircraft to take off for Gangtok from Bagdogra due to inclement weather.
The vice president tweeted "Reached Bagdogra to proceed to Gangtok, Sikkim, today. Since the weather is not permitting us, I am planning to proceed to Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh."
