Port Blair: India’s defense ministry has asked the joint command of the armed forces on the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands to deploy ships, aircraft and helicopters for searching the recently missed Malaysian airliner.
They will be holding a meeting regarding the coordinated search operations to be carried out with other countries. The deployment of the Indian forces will be taken place only after the meeting.
The decision for the deployment of Indian forces is on the basis of the request made by the Malaysian government to conduct search operations in Andaman sea.
