Kathmandu/New Delhi, April 26 (IANS): Fresh tremors on Sunday delayed the evacuation of the Indian Under-14 girls football team from the earthquake-affected Nepal capital.
An aircraft that was to bring the stranded team back to the country was scheduled to leave the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu at 12.30 p.m., an All India Football Federation (AIFF) official told IANS.
But fresh tremors shortly after Sunday noon delayed the flight, leaving the team, comprising 18 players and five officials, waiting out at the airport.
They were scheduled to be evacuated by a military aircraft, but due to the fresh quake, their evacuation was put off. The fresh plans are not yet clear.
