Mid air crash between two Indigo planes averted

Two Indigo planes escaped collision with one another over Guwahati, due to clear air turbulence, a monsoon activity, which is not detected by weather radars. As the Mumbai- Guwahati Indigo flight 6E-813 gained altitude of about 200 to 300 feet, another Indigo flight which was crossing 6E-813, escaped colliding with each other miraculously. The Guwahati bound flight alerted the ATR immediately, and a major mishap was averted. The flight later made a safe landing at Guwahati. Reportedly, at least 4 passengers complained of giddiness and 2 cabin crew needed first aid, post the turbulence. The passengers and cabin crew were later provided with medical assistance.
