Indian Consulate in Houston helping stranded Indians

Houston, April 10

The Indian consulate has come to the rescue of thousands of stranded Indians in America amidst the unprecedented emergency situation arising out of the pandemic and the resultant lockdown in many countries. The sudden cancellation of commercial flights to India and other parts of the world following the pandemic has left several Indian students, business travellers, family visitors in many US states.

During these times of unexpected crisis, the Consulate General of India here, which looks after the Indo-US diplomatic matters in the American states of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, has been providing support and guidance to the stranded Indians anxious to be home soon.

“The consulate has been working round the clock since March 14 because of the unprecedented emergency situation and is actively responding to the flood of inquiries and is providing assistance. However, there are no evacuation plans by India at this point as some believe. There are no flights going to India till April 14 and things may change depending on the situation,”Aseem Mahajan, the Indian Consul-General in Houston said.
