West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee got injured while boarding a helicopter on Saturday. Banerjee lost her balance and fell down while boarding a chopper in Paschim Bardhaman's Durgapur today. A video of the incident has gone viral on the internet showing the West Bengal CM tripping and falling while entering the chopper. She was immediately assisted by her staff present next to her at the moment.
There is no official statement about this incident yet, however, it seems that the West Bengal Chief Minister was not severely injured as she has left for Asansol for the Lok Sabha poll campaign.
The video which is currently going viral shows Mamata Banerjee getting out of an SUV at the tarmac and moving into the helicopter through detachable stairs amid chants of "Mamata Banerjee tum aage badho, hum tumhare sath hain." The moment she entered the chopper she tripped and fell as the security personel behind her lept forward to pick her up.
Over a month ago, Mamata had suffered a head injury after a fall at her Kalighat residence in Kolkata.

The 69-year-old was immediately taken to the government-run SSKM Hospital. Following treatment, she was discharged from the hospital after receiving four stitches on her head.
