This is quite likely due to fog in BLR (though I've not heard of fog this morning at 5 am, but it was definitely foggy at around 8 am when I looked out).
Immediate normally due to lack of fuel. |

Low Visability at BLR likely reason.

nope.. nobody tracks this... the only way you can get this info is from the station OPS guys because every single flight has a trip report filed
