GAIGHAT: A GR9 helicopter that Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai was boarding while returning to Kathmandu after participating in the convocation ceremony of the BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in Dharan, Sunsari made an emergency landing at the Bhulke-based Nepali Army brigade in Gaighat, Udayapur at about 4:45 on Saturday.
The chopper had to make the emergency landing after it faced ‘some technical problem’.
