The phase two of the mission will have over 149 flights, including feeder flights, bringing back Indian nationals from as many as 31 different countries over a span of seven days. The number of flights operated could also go up to as much as 160 in total.
In the first and ongoing phase, the government is operating lesser than half the number of flights which have been planned for the second phase. The total number of flights under the ongoing phase stands at 64, which by 15 May would have brought back 14,800 Indian nationals from 12 nations.
Canada, United Kingdom (UK) and Australia will follow with 10, nine and seven flights to India respectively. Also, India will be facilitating six flights from Ukraine where Indian students are stranded.
By yesterday (12 May), the Government had already brought back more than 7,000 Indian nationals under phase one of the Vande Bharat Mission.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
