There was chaos at Raipur Airport on Tuesday afternoon when the main door of IndiGo flight 6E 6312 from Delhi did not open due to technical fault. The flight was landed at Veer Narayan International Airport at 2:25 pm. The flight had dozens of passengers including former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, MLA Chaturi Nand and Mayor Meenal Choubey of Raipur.

During the efforts to open the door, no signal attached to the gate was found on the cabin screen. This made the situation a bit worrisome and created a stir among the passengers.
