Lift Travel Ban for Indians Stranded around the World

The Issue

Indian Nationals have been stranded worldwide because of the Travel ban imposed by the Government of India, as a preventive measure to curb the spread of the Coronavirus.

Stranded Indians worldwide understand the measures being taken and completely support the stringent actions, but we need to get back to our families. 

Most of us are Workers & Students, who are also doing part time jobs to support ourselves, but amidst the Global Economic Crisis, and with most businesses being shut down, we have no resources to survive in a foreign country. 

Some of us are Travellers who were caught unaware and travel on a strict budget. Most of which are the sole bread earners for their families back in India. With these Indians being stuck abroad, draining the Savings being done over the years, putting additional financial & emotional pressure on our families.

Travel Insurance Companies like Trawelltag have also denied to give any insurance incase the insurance needs to be used, citing reasons that it is a Government Decision and thus any mis-hap during the travel will not be covered. 

We request the Government of India to lift the Travel Ban imposed for inbound flights, and let Atleast the Indians Stranded abroad fly back. Almost all countries are taking back Nationals during this time of Crisis, so why is the Indian Government ignoring it's Citizens stuck Worldwide? 

We assure all Quarantine procedures will be followed and will not jeopardize the ongoing fight against Coronavirus!
