After playing a major role in the massive rescue operations lasting over a week in the flood-ravaged areas across Kerala, the Indian Air Force has chosen to go one step ahead and make a big financial contribution to the State's relief and reconstruction effort.
Air Marshal B. Suresh, Air Officer Commanding in Chief, Southern Air Command, handed over a cheque for ₹ 20 crore to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan as the IAF's contribution to the Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday.
