    What's the story

    Aviation experts will conduct a probe into the crash-landing of a Madhya Pradesh government plane carrying a stock of anti-viral drug Remdesivir at Gwalior Airport following a technical snag, a senior official said on Friday.

    The plane had crash-landed around 8:30 pm on Thursday, in which the pilot and co-pilot had suffered minor injuries.

    Here are more details.

    Details

    The plane skidded off the runway during landing at airport

    "The plane had skidded off the runway at the airport during landing. Aviation experts will probe the incident," Gwalior collector Kaushlendra Vikram Singh said.

    Gwalior Airport is the civil enclave airport at the Maharajpur Air Force station.

    IAF's Central Command spokesman Shantanu Singh said that the pilot, co-pilot, and crew member were given first-aid and handed over to the local administration.

    Meanwhile, amid several states flagging scarcity of medical oxygen in the COVID-19 fight, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, two weeks back, mentioned that Railways and Air Force have been deployed to reduce the transportation time for oxygen tankers, as reported by Mint.

    All state governments need to work together to meet the requirements of life-saving gas and medicines, PM Modi added.
