As part of the ongoing exercise Gagan Shakti-24, Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft operated from the Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) in Kashmir valley. The ministry said that a large number of troops were airlifted and subsequently air landed utilising Chinook, Mi-17 V5 and ALH Mk-III helicopters by night.
