New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flight was, on Sunday evening, diverted to Jaipur after it could not land in the national capital due to bad weather.
Modi was on his way back from Karnataka where he addressed a public meeting in Devangere earlier in the day to mark the completion of two years of his government.
PMO sources said that he would return to Delhi later in the night.
"His plane landed in Jaipur at around 9.15 p.m. and since then was waiting for the ATC to give them clearance to fly to Delhi," a source at the Jaipur airport told IANS. It took off at around 11.20 p.m., the source said.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje went to the airport when the news reached her.
Police and security forces cordoned off the area and even police deployment at all major cross roads near the airport was strengthened, said officials.
