The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) deployed its buses, and several cabs were pressed into service to move the 363 passengers from the West Asia who arrived at Kochi and Kozhikode as part of the Vande Bharat Mission on Thursday night.
The mission to lift stranded Non-Resident Keralites in the wake of the global lockdown following the Covid-19 pandemic saw the first two flights land at the Cochin International Airport and the Kozhikode International Airport at Karipur.
According to reports, five passengers arrived in Kochi, and three in Kozhikode have been hospitalised with Covid-19 symptoms.
