July 09, 2012 12:25

India is in constant touch with its High Commission in Pakistan on the emergency landing made by an Air India plane in that country, official sources said. A New Delhi-bound Air India plane with 122 passengers and six crew members made an emergency landing at Nawabshah in southern Sindh in Pakistan this morning due to a technical fault.

"Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai is in touch with the Indian High Commissioner in Pakistan Sharat Sabharwal, who is in contact with the pilot," sources in MEA said. The pilot has informed that the condition on the plane is "reasonable". The sources said as the terminal is small, passengers can be allowed to disembark in groups.
