Even as Nepal today asked all 34 countries involved in rescue work to call off their operations, the Indian Army continued to provide aid to people affected by the April 25 killer quake in close coordination with the Nepalese Army.
Nepalese authorities today requested all the 34 countries involved in rescue operations to call off their work but requested India to move to the next phase -- reconstruction and rehabilitation.
A Defence spokesman here said the Army Aviation Advanced Light Helicopters(ALH) conducted 12 sorties yesterday and evacuated 41 casualties apart from delivering 4.3 tonnes of relief material to inaccessible areas.
The Indian Army Medical Teams treated 273 patients out of which 34 surgeries were performed and 20 patients were admitted to administer medical care.
One IL 76 with 4.6 tonnes of essential Medicines and medical stores, including oxygen tanks for replenishing the Indian Army Field Hospitals and Medical Teams arrived in Kathmandu today.
The three Indian Army Engineer Task Forces (ETF) presently located at Barpak, Basantpur and Nikoshera, are involved in providing access and opening roads to establish road communication and have cleared approximately 80 meters track using skid steers and JCB.
The ETFs are involved in clearance of collapsed buildings and debris and have been able to clear approximately 80 cubic meters of debris in close cooperation with Nepal authorities. They are also providing assistance to the local population in repairing houses. One IL 76 with engineering equipment is being sent to Kathmandu today.
The second convoy from Kanpur with relief stores comprising 2,020 blankets and 256 tents is also likely to reach Nepal later today.
