Union Home Ministry denies CMs’ charge that they did not get flight permissions

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Saturday denied claims by the Chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan that their helicopters were denied permission to land in Delhi because of restrictions imposed over the ongoing G-20 summit in the national capital. 

Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot retorted that MHA was “spreading confusion” by providing wrong information. Mr. Gehlot said he was trying to avoid any controversy during the G-20 Summit.

The MHA’s spokesperson posted on X (formerly Twitter) that four requests were received from Mr. Gehlot for flight permissions, including for Sikar, and all of them were approved by the Ministry.
