7 Days, 64 Flights, 15,000 Citizens: Here's How India's Mass Evacuation Looks Like

India plans to bring back 15,000 Indians stranded in more than 10 countries, over seven days in 64 flights.

The evacuation will begin on May 7. On an average, about 2,000 Indians will be flown back each of the days.

This is first part of what is being termed as the biggest repatriation exercise ever done. Overall, reports say, nearly two lakh Indians have registered with local Indian consulates to come back home.

The government, in a statement on May 04, had said the process will begin from May 7 and travel will be arranged by aircraft and naval ships. It said, the returns will be facilitated on "compelling grounds" in a phased manner.
