A Delhi-based company has evacuated 180 migrant workers from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, responding to Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren’s appeal to corporate houses seeking help in airlifting stranded people.
Sources in the chief minister’s secretariat in Ranchi said on Wednesday evening that Delhi-based Interlinks Food Private Limited has paid nearly Rs 22 lakh for bringing 180 migrants from Port Blair to Ranchi in an Indigo chartered flight.
“The flight will land in Ranchi on Thursday evening. This would be the second evacuation of migrants from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, who have been stranded there since March due to the lockdown,” the source said.
