The NAC Twin Otter, with 18 people on board, had to make the emergency landing following some minor glitches with the engine.
NAC spokesperson Ram Hari Sharma informed that the aircraft had a technical problem and that all the passengers, including the crew members, were safe.
The aircraft (9N-ABU) is the only Twin Otter of the NAC in its domestic fleet.
Last month, one NAC Twin Otter had crashed in Arhakhanchi, killing all 18 on board.
