Kolkata/IBNS/UNI: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday underwent an MRI after she got hurt following emergency landing of her helicopter at an Army base on Sevoke Road in North Bengal owing to sudden inclement weather.

After addressing a rally in Jalpaiguri, the Trinamool Congress chairperson took a private helicopter to Bagdogra airport for her return to Kolkata.

However, when her copter was flying above the Baikunthpur jungle, the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing at the Army air base on Sevoke Road around noon.

According to reports, she sustained waist and leg injuries while disembarking from the chopper.

Banerjee complained of pain and was taken to SSKM hospital after returning from Bagdogra for a check-up and subsequently underwent an MRI.

Governor C V Ananda Bose on Tuesday expressed his relief that the chief minister is safe now. He also enquired about her safety and well-being. 

Banerjee returned to Kolkata after a two-day trip to North Bengal to campaign for the July 8 Panchayat election.
