NEW DELHI: India is all set to resume the search for Malaysian jetliner MH370, which mysteriously went missing en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur 11 days ago, by redeploying its P-8I long-range maritime surveillance and C-130J "Super Hercules" planes for surveys over southern Indian Ocean.

Government officials on Wednesday said Malaysia had sent a fresh request to India to help in the new designated search area stretching 5,000 nautical miles southwards from Jakarta. "One P-8I is already on stand-by at the naval air station at Arakkonam in Tamil Nadu, while another C-130J is positioned at Port Blair," said an official.
