Hello,

Can you please provide guidance based on my situation. I hold a valid Canadian work permit, I came to Mumbai for vacation and now I can’t return back to Canada because of lock down. I have my job over there, but I don’t know if Indian government has created any website where Indian foreign workers stuck in India can return to their country of residence. I’m concerned about my return and my job in Canada. Please help me out with possible options if any. Thank you!

Hi, it was very nice to read some assurance being provided by you for the distressed people like us, we are stranded in Columbus city of Ohio state, we had come here to facilitate the delivery of child of our daughter in law, now we are to move back as our daughter is pregnant and due date is 2nd week of June, in both the cases it was first pregnancy, and hence we are compelled to travel due to complications of health of the person before delivery in USA, after the delivery we were stranded due to the lockdown, we were in deep stress, until we heard about the evacuation process, we have hence registered yesterday for evacuation to Bangalore in Karnataka state, we are both elderly citizens ,complying to the family requirements ,due to compelling reasons , we thank the Hon Prime minister for his broad perspective to help the common citizens like us to do the minimum help in time of necessity to children , Sir my question is how will I be informed about date , of travel,as we may require atleast 48 hrs to pack and get prepared to move due to our age , and movement,
I have received a message for registration done on my mail, but no information of plans envisaged, could you kindly throw some light please, thanking you in anticipation for some reliable information .
With regards

In reply to Nalini. Hi Nalini! Repatriation flights from USA to India are scheduled from May 9. In a tweet yesterday, India's civil aviation minister hinted at possible recommencement of air travel in a phased manner post lockdown. Air India too has published a schedule of international flights on its website, but booking has not yet started. We are also eagerly waiting to make people travel on cheap flights to and from India. Please watch out for the latest updates on our Facebook page.

In reply to Monika. Hi Monika! The same provision for those stranded in Canada. The government of India has scheduled 64 flights to bring back Indians stranded across the world.
