Nearly 600 Indian nationals stuck in Kuwait returned home on Saturday by two special flights operated by the gulf nation, airport officials here said.

As many as 580 passengers who arrived here hailed from different parts of Andhra Pradesh, including Nellore, and were later taken in special buses arranged by the Andhra government after completion of immigration and Customs formalities, they said.

The stranded Indians arrived by two Kuwait Airways relief flights on Saturday morning and later left for the neighbouring state, where the required COVID-19 health protocols, including quarantining, would be done, the officials added. PTI

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
