In a big surprise for the staff of a private school in Malerkotla, a chopper of Indian Air Force (IAF) made an emergency landing in their park on Thursday.
After getting information, policemen from Amargarh and Malerkotla also reached the spot to assist the IAF staff.
“I saw a chopper over our school, but within minutes it landed in our park. Initially I could not understand, but when I saw the members of IAF, I understood that it’s an IAF chopper. I met the pilot and informed him that he has landed in the park of our school,” said an employee of the school.
Malerkotla police led by DSP William Jeji and Amargarh police led by DSP Rajan Sharma also reached the spot and cops were deployed to prevent anyone from reaching near the chopper.
“IAF chopper made an emergency landing in a local private school after it developed some technical snag. After some time their technical team came in another chopper and they repaired the faulty chopper. Chopper had taken off from Halwara Airport and was on routine sortie,” said DSP Sharma.
