Gaya: About 8,000 stranded expatriates of Bihar will be brought to Gaya. The stranded expatriates will be coming by special Air India flights. The first flight would land at the Gaya International Airport on 11 May. This is part of the biggest evacuation exercise being undertaken by the govt to evacuate Indians stranded in foreign countries on the account of continued lockdown. They will be quarantined before being allowed to go home.
According to Gaya airport sources, arrangements have begun to ensure social distancing and other Covid-19 norms during the operation of special flights by the Air India. Gaya airport has got two aero brides and as of now, and works in a single shift between 8am and 4pm.
As per the SOP notified by the Union home ministry, those being evacuated will have to undergo mandatory institutional quarantine for 14 days. They will remain under institutional quarantine at their own cost. Only asymptomatic travellers would be allowed to undertake the journey, says the SOP. It is not clear whether the evacuees will be quarantined at their disembarkation point (Gaya) or their respective district head quarters. All evacuees are mandated to download Arogyasetu app on their mobile phones.
Sources say that a sizeable number of evacuees are from Siwan, Gopalganj and Darbhanga districts. Siwan, it is to be recalled, is one of the worst Covid-19 affected regions of the state.
Confirming the plan to bring the people stranded in the middle east including UAE, district magistrate Abhishek Singh said that further details are being worked out. All precautions will be made during the arrival and transit of the international passengers, said Singh.
