New Delhi : In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic, a large number of Indians were stranded abroad. The Government of India decided to evacuate these people under the “Vande Bharat Mission”. Since the exercise was humongous and the largest ever, Sh. Sanjay Singh, Spl.CP/Transport Range coordinated with various agencies like Ministry of External Affairs, Bureau of Civil Aviation, GMR Ltd, Immigrations, Customs, CISF & Medical authorities etc for the seamless immigration while strictly maintaining the rule of social distancing. Hotels and Guest Houses were lined up and Transport authorities were also coordinated to ensure smooth transportation of arrived immigrants to the quarantine centres. Sh. SN Shrivastava, Commissioner of Police, Delhi supervised the whole exercise, resulting in proper facilitation of all such passengers without inconvenience.
During the “Vande Bharat Mission” the arrival of Indian Nationals had commenced on 08/05/2020 through flights operated by Air India. Local Police is deployed at Terminal-3 of IGI Airport to bring the passengers from Immigration to medical Screening Hall. In order to prevent the spread of deadly virus, the medical screening of the passengers is being conducted in the designated halls of Airport. After medical screening; the passengers are being kept for a period of 14 days quarantine at different designated places in Delhi. After this with the approval of Nodal officer i.e. ADM/New Delhi, passengers are being taken to the buses keeping in mind the enforcement of the directive of social distancing. After this, the buses with passengers are being escorted by our staff to their destination, in order to prevent any slipping of passenger from the bus. The passengers are taken to different quarantine facilities spread over the city including the hotels of Aerocity.
At designated quarantine centres Police force is being deployed round the clock to ensure that nobody goes out; so that the Corona virus could not be spread. Till date total 1186 passengers have arrived from abroad and out of them 685 have been kept in quarantines at designated centres in Delhi. The passengers of other states have also been assisted and they are being received by the representatives of concerned state in the manner explained above; for their medical screening. So far, a total number of 174 passengers have been sent in the hotels of Aerocity. About 55 Police personnel from IGI Airport are being deployed at Aerocity round the clock to secure them in order to stop the spread of the Virus. In addition 80 police personnel are deployed at terminal-3 of IGI Airport for the above arrangement of medical screening.
