Bird strike forces Air India flight cancelation

An Air India flight from Delhi to Pune had a bird strike on Friday, which meant the plane couldn't head back to Delhi as planned.
The issue was spotted after landing in Pune, so engineers grounded the aircraft for safety checks.
Thankfully, everyone reached Pune safely and there were no problems during the flight.

TL;DR

Airline is offering refunds or free rescheduling

To help out those affected, Air India arranged places to stay and is offering refunds or free rescheduling.
They're also working on alternate travel options to get everyone back to Delhi soon.
