According to the details, the flight's scheduled departure to the national capital was cancelled as the aircraft was undergoing repairs.
On Tuesday, IndiGo flight 6E 7295, scheduled to travel from Indore (IDR) to Raipur (RPR), faced a mid-air technical issue, prompting it to land immediately.
The flight was scheduled to depart at 6.35 am but took off slightly ahead of time at 6.28 am, and was scheduled to arrive at 8:30 am in Raipur.
However, it was diverted to Indore, as per Flightradar24.
Shortly after take-off, the pilot detected a technical snag and decided to turn the aircraft around.
Air Traffic Control at Indore Airport granted priority landing, ensuring the aircraft landed safely without incident.
All passengers were safely disembarked upon arrival.
On Monday afternoon, a Jaipur-bound IndiGo flight from Surat got delayed by nearly 45 minutes after a swarm of honeybees was spotted on the door of the plane's luggage compartment prior to its departure.
All passengers had already boarded the plane, and one of the occupants recorded the incident on his mobile phone, and its video went viral on social media platforms.

ATC instructed Air India pilot instructed to abort first landing of Thiruvananthapuram flight due to debris: DGCA
NEW DELHI: Aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday said that the cockpit crew of the Delhi-bound Air India flight from Thiruvananthapuram was directed by the Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Chennai to give a miss to the first landing it had planned on the runway. This followed a message relayed to them by the pilots of an earlier departing flight about debris being present near the runway. In a statement, the regulator also said the pilots of AI 2455 thought that the weather radar inside the cockpit had malfunctioned and was giving inaccurate information and this made them take the decision to divert the flight to Chennai. Later, a component in the nose cone of the aircraft, WX radar transceiver, which feeds inputs to the weather radar, was replaced as a precautionary measure before the flight finally took off from Chennai to Delhi. Flight AI2455 with 178 passengers, including five MPs from Kerala, plus seven crew members, had an emergency landing at Chennai airport on Sunday night due to turbulent weather and a suspected technical issue in the aircraft. AICC General Secretary and MP K C Venugopal, who was seated inside the flight, later billed the whole issue as a 'harrowing experience' in a long post on X. He alleged that the aircraft was frighteningly close to tragedy as it was 'a heart-stopping moment' during the first landing attempt. 'Another aircraft was reportedly on the same runway. In that split second, the Captain's quick decision to pull up saved every life. We were saved by skill and luck. Passenger safety cannot depend on luck.' Venugopal's remark was immediately countered by Air India on X which denied any danger posed by any other aircraft. 'The go-around was instructed by the Chennai ATC during the first attempted landing at the airport. It was not because of the presence of another aircraft on the runway.' The DGCA's statement gave minute details about the incident. It said that the A320 aircraft took off from Thiruvananthapuram only at 8.04 pm instead of its scheduled time of 7.15 pm. The delay of 49 minutes was due to the delayed arrival of the aircraft arriving here from Delhi.

Mizoram: 1,900 refugees from Myanmar, Bdesh registered in biometric enrollment
Aizawl, Aug 11 (PTI) More than 1,900 refugees staying in Mizoram have been enrolled in the ongoing exercise of biometric enrollment for people from Myanmar and Bangladesh, an official said on Monday. He said that the biometric enrollment for over 32,000 Myanmar nationals who have taken shelter across 11 districts of the state and nearly 3,000 Bangladeshis from Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) began in a few districts on July 28, followed by most other districts on July 30 and 31. The exercise is progressing at a slow pace due to technical issues and poor internet connectivity in remote areas, he said. As of Friday, district administrations have captured the biometric and demographic details of 1,947 refugees across 11 districts, according to the official. Although collecting biometric and biographic data of refugees who are staying in relief camps is easier, district officials faced inconvenience for children who study in Aizawl or outside the district where their parents currently took shelter, he said. He said that the enrollment exercise could also not be expedited for those refugees who live outside relief camps, especially in rented houses and those living with relatives or friends. According to the state home department, a total of 32,504 Myanmar refugees are presently taking shelter across all the 11 districts of Mizoram with Champhai district hosting the highest at 13,586. The number, however, keeps changing almost every day as some refugees have the habit of going to their country and coming back to Mizoram repeatedly, officials said. Although Champhai district, which has hosted the highest number of Myanmar refugees, began the enrollment exercise on July 31, only seven have been enrolled so far due to technical glitches with the electronic devices, they said. The district administration has collected new devices from Aizawl on Saturday, and the exercise is expected to run smoothly from this week, they said. Additionally, more than 2,000 Bangladeshi refugees also took shelter in south Mizoram's Lawngtlai district, 266 others in Serchhip and 63 in Lunglei districts, the home department said. The Myanmar nationals, mostly from Chin state, fled to Mizoram following a military coup in the neighbouring country in February 2021, while the asylum seekers from Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracts came to the state after a military offensive against an ethnic insurgent group in 2022. The Chins in Myanmar and the Bawm tribe of Bangladesh share close ethnic ties with the Mizos.
