Bengaluru, March 6 Fifty passengers from the state who were stranded in the Gulf region due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia arrived in New Delhi early Friday morning after departing from Fujairah in the UAE, according to a statement from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's office.
The protocol team (from the Karnataka government) was at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, providing breakfast, the statement said.
They were transported on a KSRP (Karnataka State Reserve Police) bus and two cars to domestic terminals for their onward travel to Bengaluru, Mangaluru, and Hubballi, the CM office said in a statement.
Many were disgruntled and complained to the team that the Ministry of External Affairs had done nothing, and it was only a local organization that helped them with their tickets, etc., the statement claimed.
"Incidentally, we are the only state so far that is providing this assistance at the Delhi airport," it added.
