The IL-76 IAF aircraft left here at 12.30 p.m. with five doctors and 60 paramedics on board for Teheran, on way to Bam, according to the IAF spokesman, Squadron Leader Mahesh Upasani. Two more planeloads of relief supplies would be ferried, officials said and the assistance would include 10,000 blankets, 1000 tents, a full complement of doctors to set up a 75-bed mobile hospital along with an operation theatre and medical supplies for four weeks. Separately, 600 tonnes of high protein biscuits which have reached Bandar Abbas will, for the present, be dispatched to Bam, to meet the emergency requirements. Air links between India and Pakistan were snapped on January one, 2002, in the wake of the December 13 terror attack on Parliament House. The two sides have agreed to restore these links from January 1, 2004. — PTI
