India assists Bangladesh in combating crisis due to influx of refugees from Myanmar
The Indian government has decided to send relief materials.
The Indian Air Force was tasked to airlift the relief material from India to Bangladesh.
One C-17 Globemaster strategic heavy lift cargo aircraft was positioned at short notice in Delhi on Wednesday to airlift 55 Tons of relief material to Chittagong in Bangladesh.
This aircraft was loaded overnight with relief material consisting of critical daily necessities viz., rice, pulses, sugar, salt, cooking oil, ready to eat meals, mosquito nets etc.
The C-17 carrying relief material departed early Thursday morning and routed via Kolkata to pick up additional load.
One more C-17 is scheduled to airlift additional relief material to Bangladesh.
The Indian Air Force rose to the challenge and played a pivotal role to further strengthen the close ties of friendship between India and Bangladesh, an official government statement said.
