Government has said that more than 67.5 lakh people have
been brought back from around the world under the Vande Bharat mission
so far. India commenced one of the world's largest evacuation operations
from 7th May last year to bring back stranded Indians from abroad.
Initially, Air India and its subsidiary Air India Express played a key
role in the operations.
Afterwards, other air carriers were allowed to take part in the
programme. Besides, aerial evacuation, ships were also used to bring
back Indian citizens. In a tweet, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Puri
said, Vande Bharat is not just a mission that brought back stranded and
distressed citizens but it is also a Mission of hope and happiness.
He added that the Mission has let Indian
people know that they will not be left behind by the government even in
the most testing times. A total of 8,587 people returned to India on
Saturday under the Vande Bharat Mission.
