Indigo flight reached Delhi from Kolkata, DGCA ordered an inquiry

The rear part of an Indigo plane hit the ground during landing at Delhi airport. Fortunately, there was not much damage in the accident. The incident happened on Sunday. DGCA has given information about this by issuing a statement. DGCA has said that the flight of the aircraft has been banned after the accident and the incident is being investigated.
It has been told that the incident took place on Sunday when the plane was landing at Delhi airport from Kolkata.
According to DGCA, the incident is on June 11. Indigo flight A321-252NX (Neo) was coming from Kolkata to Delhi on flight number 6E-6183. The rear part of the aircraft hit the ground during landing in Delhi. The incident took place on runway 27 of the Delhi airport.
During the landing, the pilot realized that something was wrong. On examination, it was found that the rear undercarriage of the plane touched the runway surface and sustained minor damage.
Taking the matter seriously, the DGCA has off-rostered the operational crew till the completion of the investigation. Indigo has also confirmed this matter, but it has not told how many passengers were on this flight.
In another case on Saturday, an Indigo flight diverted due to bad weather and entered Pakistan's airspace. According to media reports, an Indigo airline flight going from Amritsar to Ahmedabad had reached Gunjawala in Pakistan.
However, the flight landed safely in Ahmedabad despite losing its way. As the aircraft entered Pakistani airspace, Amritsar ATC was in constant touch with Pakistani agencies and got the aircraft safely returned.
