BJP’s Nitin Nabin’s Chhattisgarh trip halted as dense fog forces flight cancellation

The scheduled flight that was to transport BJP president Nitin Nabin to Chhattisgarh was called off when dense fog rolled in, sharply reducing visibility at the departure airport. Officials cited low visibility as the primary safety concern and decided to cancel the service rather than risk an unsafe take‑off.

Airline representatives confirmed that the aircraft would be held on the ground until conditions improve, and they are working to rebook passengers on alternative flights. No injuries or further disruptions were reported.

The cancellation underscores how weather-related challenges continue to affect air travel across India, especially during the winter months when fog is common in many northern and central regions.

Nitin Nabin, who heads the party’s national unit, is expected to reschedule his visit to Chhattisgarh once the weather clears, according to party sources.

The incident highlights the routine coordination between airlines and aviation authorities to prioritize passenger safety over schedule adherence.
