The Indian embassy in Abu Dhabi has commended the orderly way in which the repatriation effort is being conducted in the capital.
"Kudos to all the passengers for waiting patiently for their turn for medical screening and many thanks to all the frontline health workers and airport staff for extending full support," it tweeted.
