Greece is ready to provide a military plane C130, which is for transporting injured people during terrorist attacks, to Mumbai. A statement made by the Greek Foreign Ministry says that the service works of the plane have started, so it can be adjusted for medical use. The moment when the Indian government might need help, the plane will be ready for departure.

Meanwhile the story of Greek Australian Chloe Papazahiriaki, who had her happiest day, went around the global news broadcasts. The young lady is in Mumbai for her marriage with the popular Indian actor Punit Vasihta. The young couple met in Adelaida, where the girl is from, during the film shoot of Vasihta’s last picture. Chloe made the costumes for the movie.

It was a miracle that the couple and all their Greek and Australian friends survived. “At the last moment we changed our plans to move from Leopold restaurant, where the terrotists attacked, to Pencharanta – about 300 meters from Taj Mahal hotel,” says the father of the bride. The terrorist attempt took the lives of 101 people and injured another 314.

“I came to this wonderful city in order to get married in four days. With me are my closest people from Greece and Australia. We went to have dinner when the explosion started and everything around us broke and we saw people dying. We were scared for our lives,” said Chloe. Right now her and all her guests are locked in the luxurious Taj Mahal hotel.
