Chennai: There is promising news for thousands of stranded Indians waiting for their return from UAE to India on the background of current Covid-19 pandemic. The air traffic between these two countries has been resumed.
Dr Dhananjay Datar, chairman and managing director of Al Adil Trading, is extending his co-operation in sponsoring the air ticket expenses of the needy travellers coming back to India.
Datar, hailed as ‘Masala King’, said he will contribute to the ticket expense and COVID testing fees for Indians from the UAE who are waiting to get repatriated. He said this is a personal initiative from his side to help those who are unable to meet the expenses in order to travel to their homeland.
“The repatriation efforts taken by the Indian government is one of the largest initiatives undertaken to help those stranded on account of the pandemic. It goes without saying that this could be seen as one of the largest emergency evacuations and it is the duty of all of us to help our brethren in distress in whatever way we can,” he said.
