Bhopal: A Madhya Pradesh government plane carrying a stock of anti-viral drug Remdesivir crash-landed at Gwalior airport on Thursday evening following a technical snag, a senior police official said.

The pilot and co-pilot suffered minor injuries, Gwalior district Superintendent of Police Amit Sanghi said.

The consignment of Remdesivir the plane was carrying was safe, he added.

The incident took place around 8:30 PM at Gwalior’s Maharajpura airport during landing and the plane skidded off the runway a little, the SP said.

In view of the shortage of Remdesivir injections which are being widely used for the treatment of COVID-19 patients, the State government has deployed its aircraft for the medicine’s transportation.
