From Sana’a to Kochi, a safe journey for infant

6-day-old Parvathi will have no memories of the bombing at Amran in the strife-torn Yemen where she was born. Nor will she remember the elaborate arrangements made at Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery where she was airlifted with her parents six days later.

Though 362 Indians were flown in from Yemen by an Air India flight in the early hours of Friday as part of Operation Raahat, the entire attention was on the toddler.

Considering that her trip had to be delayed by a day after she was diagnosed with newborn jaundice, the Indian authorities in Yemen arranged an incubator and drafted in a doctor, Uma Nambiar, to accompany her parents, Raji and Shaaji, in their flight to Kochi. The parents hail from Oachira.
