Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's trip to India was extended by another night again on Monday. Trudeau was supposed to fly back on Sunday after the G20 summit but had to stay till Monday after a technical issue with his plane.

But now, according to Trudeau's office, he is expected to leave India late Tuesday afternoon at the earliest.

In an e-mailed statement to PTI, the Canadian Prime Minister's office said the Canadian Armed Forces continue their best efforts to get the delegation home.

"We will keep you updated regularly as the situation evolves. Their latest update shows an earliest possible departure of Tuesday late afternoon. The situation remains fluid," Press Secretary Mohammad Hussain said in the statement.
