The second repatriation flight from Muscat, Oman, under the Centre’s ‘Vande Bharat’ mission reached Gaya in Bihar via Delhi on Sunday with 132 stranded Indian nationals onboard.
Gaya District Magistrate Abhishek Singh told ANI that the passengers of the flight hail from Bihar and Jharkhand and were brought from Delhi last night. They were only allowed to exit the airport following a medical screening under a Covid-19 protocol.
“Sixteen returnees hail from Jharkhand and we will send them to Ranchi by a bus. The rest of them will be sent to 14-day quarantine in Bodh Gaya and will undergo a medical examination every alternate day,” Singh said.
