The Prime Minister was stuck on a flyover for few minutes and then he decided to go back to Delhi. After his decision to go back to Delhi, his cavalcade turned back from the flyover and the prime minister proceeded back to Bathinda via road. On reaching Bathinda, he took his flight back to national capital.
