India reopens hospital on Afghan border

AFP

(New Delhi, Ocobert 9)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

India on Tuesday announced it was treating Afghan patients at a military hospital along Afghanistan's border with Tajikistan.
Foreign Minister Jaswant Singh said the Indian-run hospital was on the outskirts of the town of Parokhor in the former Soviet republic.

"The hospital has already started functioning, catering to both inpatients as well as outpatients," said Singh, who is also the defence minister.

The hospital was set up with funding from India some years ago and in the past treated wounded soldiers of the Northern Alliance, which is fighting Afghanistan's ruling Taliban regime.

It shut down some months ago, but Singh said it had been reopened as part of New Delhi's humanitarian assistance for the people of Afghanistan, where US-led military strikes began Sunday.

Singh said Cabinet Committee on Security had cleared a proposal to send humanitarian assistance to Kabul. But he did not elaborate on when or how the assistance would be sent.

India enjoys warm ties with the deposed Northern Alliance government of President Burhunaddin Rabbani and has called for a broad-based multi-ethnic government to replace the Taliban Islamic militia.
