The tabletop runway at Lengpui, known for its difficult nature, made the airplane slide off the runway during its arrival.
A Myanmar
military airplane slipped off the runway at Mizoram's Lengpui Air terminal
today during a mission to transport Myanmar armed force staff who had looked
for shelter in the northeastern state following extreme conflicts with rebel
bunches in their country. Something like eight on board were harmed in the
incident.
The tabletop
runway at Lengpui, 2,500 meters long and situated at a level of 1,228 feet
above ocean level, is known for its difficult nature. During handling, the
Myanmarese airplane, a Shaanxi Y-8, slipped off the runway and its fuselage
parted down the middle.
India on
Monday sent home somewhere around 184 Myanmarese warriors. An authority explanation
from the Assam Rifles affirmed that a sum of 276 Myanmarese warriors had
entered Mizoram keep going week, and on Monday, 184 of them were sent back to
Myanmar.
The officers
entered Bandukbanga village at the India-Myanmar-Bangladesh trijunction in Mizoram's
Lawngtlai region on January 17, and moved toward the Assam Rifles for help.
Their camp
had been invaded and caught by fighters having a place with the 'Arakan Armed
force,' a Myanmarese guerilla bunch battling for a free Rakhine State,
provoking them to escape to Mizoram.
The
Myanmarese warriors were taken to the Assam Rifles camp at Parva, and later
moved to Lunglei for oversight. The bringing home cycle started with the
gathering being flown on Myanmar Flying corps planes from Lengpui air terminal
close to Aizawl to Sittwe in Myanmar's Rakhine State.
An Assam
Rifles official said that the leftover 92 warriors will be localized today. The
whole gathering is going by a colonel and involves 36 officials and 240
lower-rank work force.
