All passengers are safe, revenue official SL Rangad said.

However, it took off for the Himalayan shrine as the weather improved after sometime, he said.

Radia, once known as an influential corporate lobbyist, had landed in controversy few years back following the leak of her alleged taped conversations with prominent politicians, businessmen and media persons.
