West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee slips while boarding helicopter, sustains minor injury

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee encountered a mishap while boarding a helicopter in Durgapur on April 27. Amidst the boarding process, she slipped and incurred a minor injury, promptly receiving assistance from her security personnel.

Undeterred by the setback, she chose to continue her scheduled journey to Asansol.
