Flood relief material from Malaysia held up at airport

TRICHY: A total of 1.5 tonnes of relief material sent from Malaysia for the flood victims of Cuddalore is held up at the Trichy International Airport as the customs authorities have not yet cleared it. Malindo Airlines authorities cleared the 97 boxes in Malaysia and they arrived on Saturday evening.
Prakash of People's Trust, a non-governmental organisation that is providing flood relief material to those affected in Cuddalore, who is to take charge of the consignment, told TOI that "clearance was provided from the Malaysian side with Malindo Airlines shipping it free of cost.
However, the customs authorities here are holding it saying no relevant documents are available."
