Karnataka: Close shave for two ministers
Both the ministers, accompanied by some officials, had left here for Hyderabad enroute to Delhi this morning and had a brief stop over for refuelling at Hyderabad airport, sources close to them told PTI.
However, one of the tyres of the aircraft burst during take-off, following which all those on-board were evacuated safely, the sources said.
While Reddy left for Delhi by another aircraft, Sreeramulu decided against travelling after the incident, they said.
Reddy and Sreeramulu were travelling to Delhi to receive an award that the state's Tourism Department had won, the sources said.
