The Indigo flight that was scheduled to land at Amritsar airport at 9:10 pm has been returned to Delhi. This flight was not allowed to land here. The reason for this is said to be a blackout in the district at present.

The District Commissioner has urged everyone to turn off their lights and stay away from windows.
