India's rocket launch with heaviest-ever satellite was delayed to avoid collision

The launch of LVM-3 rocket carrying BlueBird Block-2 communications satellite, heaviest-ever satellite by an Indian rocket, was delayed by 90 seconds. ISRO said it was delayed because there was chance of collision on flight path of rocket as there was debris or conjunction with other satellites. It was slated for launch at 8:54 am but was launched at 8:55:30 am.
