India allows amnesty seekers to land at any international airport

Authorities in India have withdrawn a recently issued regulation that barred Indian citizens returning home on amnesty from landing at most airports in the country. Velu Rajamony, the Consul General in Dubai, said the decision to lift the restriction was made following requests made by the embassy and consulates in the UAE.
'As of Monday the restriction, which was earlier imposed, has been lifted. Now every Indian issued with an out pass can travel to any destination in the country'
'We have assured officials in India that necessary crosschecks will be carried out before issuing out passes.' He added imposing restrictions would have created a lot of problems.
The regulation, if it had not been lifted, would have allowed amnesty seekers to land only at Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, New Delhi, Hyderabad and Trivandrum international airports.
