224 Indians Arrived Yesterday

As part of Operation Sindhu, 224 Indian nationals evacuated from Israel arrived in New Delhi.

MoS Shobha Karandlaje welcomes evacuees who returned to India by Indian Air Force C-17 aircraft from Jordan and Egypt.

Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu people are unhappy because they were only offered train tickets, and that too after Friday. In that case they couldn't reach their destination. Some of them spent their own money and flew from New Delhi.

However, several people are still waiting in Delhi for the Tamil Nadu Government to take them by train; they probably will reach Tamil Nadu on Saturday and Sunday.
