The Indian Embassy in Doha has confirmed that Qatar Airways operated a large-scale flight operation, transporting around 7,750 Indian nationals to India across 25 flights between the 20th and 22nd of the month.
According to the embassy, the coordinated airlift was carried out in collaboration with local authorities, with passengers booking tickets through the airline’s official website, mobile app, or authorized travel agents, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
The embassy urged members of the Indian community in Qatar to strictly follow official guidelines and safety instructions issued by local authorities. It emphasized that compliance with workplace and building safety protocols remains essential for ensuring security.
Officials also advised residents to stay updated with emergency response procedures, including shelter-in-place measures where applicable, particularly as some educational institutions begin a gradual return to in-person classes.
