Air India arranged two special flights Jumbo jets Ajanta and Agra to evacuate Indians stranded in Wuhan due to outbreak of Coronavirus in the region. Total number of passengers evacuated by two flights were 654 out of which 647 were Indians and 7 foreigners. The jumbo jets used for the purpose are being fumigated and will be used for regular commercial services after fumigation is complete. On number of occasions Air India came to the rescue of passengers stranded in troubled areas and they have always done a good job.

Nothing can be taken for granted. Everyone of them has to be in isolation ward until the authorities are satisfied that they don't carry anything.

This is a good measure. Thought it is sad that they must leave there but it's for good.

You can' leave your people in affected area but there is certain danger of spreading the decease to new areas.

@ZedSmart Definitely. Authorities have to be satisfied before they are allowed even to meet their close relatives.
