Coronavirus | U.K. to evacuate 20,000 citizens starting this week

The Hindu  

The United Kingdom will operate seven charter flights during this week to evacuate stranded British nationals from Goa, Mumbai and Delhi, its High Commission said on Sunday. Around 20,000 citizens will leave in a weeks-long operation that the U.K. envoy to India described as ‘huge’. India has around 35,000 U.K. citizens who are stranded as India suspended commercial international air travel on March 22 to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.K. government continues to work hard with our Indian counterparts in New Delhi and London to arrange a safe journey back for as many people as possible,” said Jan Thompson, Acting High Commissioner.
