NEW DELHI : India will send a C-17 military transport aircraft to the Chinese city of Wuhan on Thursday to evacuate more Indians and deliver a consignment of medical supplies to China's coronavirus-hit people, official sources said. The C-17 Globemaster is the largest military aircraft in the Indian Air Force's inventory. India's national carrier Air India has already evacuated around 640 Indians from Wuhan in two separate flights. According to estimates, over 100 Indians are still living in Wuhan, some of whom decided not to return to India. Last week, India announced that it will send medicines as well as other medical supplies for coronavirus-hit people in China.
