Imphal, February 21 2009:
Union DoNER Minister Mani Shankar Aiyer who was scheduled to arrive here today from Shillong on a two-day visit to the State could not make it as the helicopter in which he was to come could not take off from Shillong.
According to an official source, the helicopter could not take off due to inclement weather.
So, instead of arriving here tomorrow, the Union Minister would directly visit Moreh from Shillong in the helicopter.
The Union Minister is currently at Shillong attending a meeting of the North Eastern Council.
After visiting Moreh from Shillong, the helicopter carrying the Union Minister would touch down at Imphal at 9 am tomorrow.
There would be no change in the itinerary of the Union Minister with regard to laying the foundation stone of an Inter-State Bus Terminus at Khuman Lampak and meeting the Congress workers, the source added.
