During President Droupadi Murmu's historic visit to Sabarimala temple, a newly constructed helipad at Pramadam Stadium collapsed under her helicopter. As the first woman head of state to visit the Lord Ayyappa shrine, her four-day Kerala tour continues with various ceremonial engagements despite this unexpected incident that required emergency personnel to free the Indian Air Force Mi-17 aircraft.
