Mamata Banerjee Loses Control While Boarding Helicopter in Bengal's Durgapur, Injured

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday sustained injuries after she suffered a fall as she lost her balance while boarding a helicopter in Durgapur.

After walking up the mobile stairs placed in front of the chopper, Banerjee was about to take a seat inside it when the incident occurred. The helicopter was waiting for the Chief Minister to board so that it could take off.

Reportedly, Banerjee suffered a minor injury and was immediately assisted by her security personnel. Later, the TMC supremo continued with her scheduled trip to Asansol.

In May, Banerjee was hospitalised after she fell near her home in Kolkata and injured herself. There were visuals that showed blood streaming down her face from a deep cut on her forehead.

The Bengal Chief Minister was later admitted to the state-run SSKM hospital.

In June 2023, Mamata Banerjee suffered a leg injury when her helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing at Sevoke airbase near Siliguri due to bad weather. She sustained ligament wounds to her left knee and left hip joint.

“The CM fell inside the helicopter after losing her balance while she was trying to sit. She is fine,” a senior officer, who was accompanying Banerjee, told PTI.

Following the incident, she flew to Kulti and addressed a rally in support of TMC’s Asansol candidate Shatrughan Sinha.
