India requests China for evacuation of nationals from Wuhan

New Delhi, Jan 28 (UNI) The Centre has extended screening of passengers with travel history from China to 13 more airports, taking the total to 20 even as the Ministry of External Affairs has made a formal request to China for facilitating evacuation of Indian nationals from Wuhan.
Major countries, including India, are planning to send aircraft to evacuate their nationals from Wuhan where more than 100 people have died and thousands infected after outbreak of the deadly Coronavirus. Indians and other foreigners are unable to leave the city after the Chinese government sealed off several cities, effectively trapping tens of millions of people, in an effort to contain the spread of the virus.
"Our Embassy is in contact with the Chinese government. We are trying to evacuate people, most of whom are students, from Wuhan city by sending a plane. Efforts are on. I can assure you that the Government of India is working on it and very soon some solution will be found," External Affairs minister S Jaishankar said.
