, “… We reached Shimla via flight this morning. There was some issue with its landing… I don’t know the technicalities, but I can tell as a layman that when the plane was about to land, it did not touch the ground where it should have. It could not stop and reached the spot where the runway ended. The plane turned at the edge of the runway, and reached a point where it could be stopped… Strong brakes were applied to stop the plane… We had to stay in the plane for another 20-25 minutes…”
