APNRTS 'Nearly 2,000 Andhra People Evacuated from West Asia'

The APNRTS president, Ravi Kumar P Vemuru, on Tuesday said nearly 2,000 transit passengers and Telugu people on tourist visas in the West Asia returned home.

The Andhra Pradesh Non-Resident Telugu Society (APNRTS) president said the government evacuated some of them while the others took flights to come back home. "A lot of the transit passengers and the people who were there on visitor visas have already come



back. 

Maybe a couple of thousand. Government brought some of them, and a lot of the other people came (back)," Vemuru told Media. However, he said about 70 people are still there in Bahrain who are going to come back in a couple of days. 

Observing that people from the southern state suffered no fatalities or injuries in the war between the US-Israel and Iran, he said they are watching how the situation would evolve.
