Hot air balloon makes emergency landing in Ajmer

Ajmer, Nov 5 (ANI): A hot air balloon with pilot and two westerners on board made an emergency landing in a prison complex in Ajmer city of Rajasthan recently, prompting the alarmed authorities to launch an immediate inquiry. The balloon, one of the main attractions of the annual five-day Pushkar fair, being held nearly 15 kilometers from Ajmer, drifted away due to strong winds in the area, flew across hills and above the artificial Anna Sagar lake in Ajmer. The police said that when the pilot finally spotted an empty field, he made an emergency landing, unaware that the space was within the premises of a jail. The jail was then placed under high alert due to the breach of security. Singh said that investigations into the matter were on. The manager of the balloon company, Kapil Sharma, came out in support of the balloon operator, claiming that such landings were common in cases of emergency. Nov 5, 2014
