Operation Kaveri: As part of Operation Kaveri, the Indian government is evacuating about 3,000 Indian citizens from Sudan. However, due to a lack of vaccination against yellow fever, 117 out of 1,191 Indian nationals rescued from the country are currently being quarantined free of charge. The Union health ministry is working in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs to arrange necessary quarantine facilities at transit junctures for incoming passengers. The rescued individuals are provided with rent-free accommodation and free food facilities in quarantine centres managed by airport health officers (APHOs) and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare at various hospitals across states, as well as central government hospitals such as Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi.
Evacuees Arriving in Batches
The evacuees are arriving in batches, with the first batch of 360 passengers arriving in Delhi, followed by the second flight of 240 passengers who landed in Mumbai on April 26. Of the 360 passengers who arrived on the third flight in Bengaluru on April 30, 47 were initially quarantined, while 61 out of 231 passengers on the fourth flight were quarantined upon arriving in Delhi. The number of people who are put in quarantine changes based on how their passport numbers are being checked.
Proper Process of Evacuation Followed
On April 24th, the operation to rescue Indian citizens who were stuck in Sudan was given the codename “Operation Kaveri.” Officials from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, the Indian Air Force, and the Indian Embassy in Sudan have come together to form a group that will be responsible for ensuring that the correct evacuation procedure is followed. The Indians will be transported from Sudan to Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan, where they will wait until they are ready to board their flight back to India.
