NEW DELHI : Indian Air Force today dispatched two planes loads of relief material to rain-hit Srinagar as the incessant rains have triggered panic in the Valley, reminding the devastating flash flood of September last year that left large part of the state in deluge for several weeks. The IAF has pressed its Gujraj plane IL-76 into service for the purpose.
“Two IL-76 cargo planes have been dispatched to Srinagar with NDRF load from Bhtinda,” sources in the IAF said here. About 300 families have so far been taken to safer places from rain-affected villages where heavy rains have led to soil erosion.
