Indian Embassy in Doha said almost 500 Indian nationals travelled on Qatar Airways flights to Kochi and other global destinations today.
Qatar Airways facilitated the transportation of the mortal remains of two Indians who died due to natural causes and their accompanying family members to Kochi on humanitarian grounds.
The Embassy said Qatar airspace is only partially open and therefore limited flights are being operated by Qatar Airways. One flight to Mumbai is planned for operations by Qatar Airways tomorrow.
Indian nationals who wish to travel from India to Qatar can take Qatar Airways flights which come back from India to Qatar.
Indian Ambassador to Qatar held another virtual meeting with Indian community organizations to brief them on efforts undertaken by the Embassy for the welfare of the community during the conflict situation.
About 100 community members attended the briefing. Daily meetings have also been held with the apex Indian community organizations.
Indian community expressed gratitude to the leadership and people of Qatar for their efforts to ensure the well-being of all Qatar residents.
The community reiterated that Qatar is their second home and they are both committed and resilient to face any situation in Qatar, in the spirit of friendship between India and Qatar.
The Embassy said any emergency cases of travel or otherwise can be brought to the attention of the Embassy on helpline numbers or to Indian community organizations.
Qatar’s Ministry of Interior has confirmed that the situation remains stable and services across vital sectors continue to operate normally. Competent Qatari authorities are closely monitoring all developments.
