In a bid to strengthen the security network, 3 helipads (size 100 x 30 metres each) have been constructed in Kundanpura, Singhania and Bakhasar villages under this project as per the requirements of the defence forces.
The Indian Air Force C-17 aircraft that took off from Kabul with another 168 people, including 107 Indians and some 20 Afghan Sikhs and Hindus, landed at the Hindon IAF base in Ghaziabad.
The aircraft departed the Hamid Karzai International Airport under 'challenging circumstances', given that the local Afghans were desperate to escape from their country and were creating chaos at the airport.
