All passengers will be released after 7 days if they remain asymptomatic.
The Indian government is evacuating about 3,000 passengers of Indian Origin from Sudan, and necessary quarantine facilities are being arranged at transit junctures in mission mode for incoming passengers, said a release issued by the Health Ministry on Saturday.
It said that working in close collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs under ‘Operation Kaveri’, 1,191 passengers had arrived so far, of which 117 passengers were currently quarantined as they had not been vaccinated against yellow fever.
All passengers will be released after 7 days if they remain asymptomatic, it added.
The passengers are provided with free accommodation and food in quarantine centres managed by Airport Health Officers (APHO)s, and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare at various hospitals across States holding a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as well as Central government hospitals in Delhi such as Safdarjung Hospital.
‘Operation Kaveri’ is a rescue mission launched by the Government of India to evacuate Indian citizens who are stranded in Sudan. It was launched on April 24, in response to the crisis in Sudan.
A team of officials including the Ministry of External Affairs, the Indian Air Force, and the Indian embassy in Sudan has been appointed by the Indians to ensure proper process of evacuation. During the evacuation, Indians will be transferred from Sudan to the capital city of Khartoum, from where they will be flown back to India.
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
