Newsroom, May 5: Following the union government's nod, preparations are afoot to bring back Indian nationals stranded abroad from May 7 onwards.
According to sources, in the first phase from May 7- 14, the government would allow more than 60 “non-scheduled, commercial” flights to operate from about 12 countries to India to bring back 15,000 citizens. At least half of those flights will be from the Gulf region, including UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman, while the rest would bring passengers from the U.S., the U.K., Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Bangladesh.
The flights would be spread over 10 States identified as having the largest numbers to return, with Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Delhi (NCR) receiving the maximum number of flights.
A meeting held at the Ministry of Civil Aviation looked specifically at flights, mainly operated by Air India, while it awaits a final plan from countries where Indians need to be airlifted from. The first flights planned at present are from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh and Doha, flying directly to Kozhikode and Kochi.
While the full estimate of Indians needing to return home could cross ten lakhs (a million), with more than two lakhs having registered to return from the UAE alone, officials said their return would be “prioritised and staggered”.

Do you know who start the tippu jayanthi dear
This is the fact, a party built on corrupt ideology will not survive. The entire nation will know the truth.
What is their moral value of these guys who killed that person who sacrificed his whole life for the nation. What can we expect from these people. Until the past few years they were agreeing TIPU SULTAN as the best ruler, tiger of Mysore, and the man who taught to resist the invaders.
Just for the personal benefits, the same guys portray him negatively
People of such a mentality should be catalgorized as sick and mentally distorted group who should not be considered fit for election or make any policitical party.
The wise people should boycott such immoral party, Support the fair and the reliable party. If not available go for the least corrupt party.
Eddi is the only CM who spent his life in jail for corruption (not as a freedom fighter)
Think of our future geneations and our children,
God help our country from these corrupt group.
Dear Sandesh

Why all people blaming BJP. Why this govt cant avoid celebration
BJP leaders are mentally retarded people. Trouble makers
All Hindus should support BJP's decision
BJP openly said they will oppose. If they didnt say anything also they will do the same. They will make trouble as they did previous year
Govt should seek order from hc or sc for arresting all BJP goons
