Indian envoys in Gulf nations assure expats of more flights to home
As India began to evacuate its stranded citizens from the Gulf nations due to Covid-19 linked travel restrictions, the country’s envoys have assured the worried expatriates that there would be more flights in the coming days for people with compelling reasons to return home.
India began evacuating stranded nationals in Oman and Saudi Arabia on Saturday under the ‘Vande Bharat’ mission.
The first of such flights began operating from May 7 from Abu Dhani and Dubai in the UAE, taking home 363 Indians to Kerala.
The Riyadh to Kozhikode repatriation flight carried 152 passengers, Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Ausaf Sayeed said on Friday.
