NEW DELHI: Around 3,500 Indians stranded abroad had been flown into India until the wee hours on Sunday as India’s Vande Bharat Mission motored ahead under what official sources described as regular high-level oversight. While eight flights landed across India on Saturday — Day 3 of the operation — an equal number was expected on Sunday.
Principal secretary to PM P K Mishra held a meeting Saturday with top government officials to review the situation, sources here said. The meeting was attended by cabinet secretary Rajiv Gauba, foreign secretary Harsh Shringla, Union home secretary Ajay Bhalla and civil aviation secretary P S Kharola.
