Indian missions are helping Indian citizens stranded across the world due to Covid 19-related travel restrictions
Indian missions are helping fellow citizens world over, affected by travel restrictions due to COVID-19, through consular services and by arranging flights under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs, India.
Stranded travellers in many countries have reached out to the India's Minister of External Affairs Dr. S. Jaishankar, to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), to Indian consulates and to Indian High Commissioners (IHC).
The MEA and the IHC’s have been active on social media and have shared updates through their twitter handles. Here's a round up of some reassuring posts.
