Plane Emergency Because of Power Bank Fire
Introduction
On May 5, 2026, an IndiGo plane landed in Chandigarh. A passenger's power bank started a fire. All people had to leave the plane quickly.
Main Body
The plane stopped at the airport. A power bank in a seat pocket caught fire. The crew used two fire extinguishers, but there was too much smoke. 200 passengers and six crew members left the plane using emergency slides. Some people got small cuts. One woman hurt her ankle and went to the hospital. A fire truck was near the plane, but it did not need to spray water. New rules say passengers must keep power banks in their bags. They must not charge phones during the flight. They must not put batteries in the overhead bins.
Conclusion
The plane is not flying now. Experts are checking it. The passengers are at the airport for help.

✈️ Action Words (Past vs. Present)
Look at how the story changes from what happened (Past) to what is happening now (Present).
The Past (Finished)
- Landed → The plane is already on the ground.
- Caught → The fire started.
- Left → The people are out of the plane.
The Present (Now)
- Is checking → Experts are doing this right now.
- Are → The passengers are still at the airport.
🚫 The Word "MUST"
When we see MUST, it means it is a strict rule. No choice!
- Must keep → Put it in your bag. (Do this!)
- Must not charge → Stop using the charger. (Don't do this!)
Pattern:
Must + Action = ✅ Yes
Must not + Action = ❌ No
