Chartered flights arranged by Indian businessman S.P.Singh Oberoi from Ras al Khaimah :Tickets For Most Of The Passengers Were Purchased By His"Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust"
Indian businessman and philanthropist SP Singh Oberoi
Amritsar: As many as 174 Indians, who had been stranded in various
parts of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) because of the closure of companies
where they were employed due to the coronavirus pandemic, were brought back by a
chartered flight at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport .
The flight, which
was organised by Indian businessman and philanthropist SP Singh Oberoi,
departed from Ras al Khaimah in the UAE on Monday 13th July 2020.
This was the
second of the four chartered flights arranged by Oberoi to bring back the
Indians from the UAE. On July 7, a chartered plane brought back 177 Indians to
Chandigarh airport.
According
to S.P.Singh Oberoi, the third and fourth flights will land in Chandigarh and
Amritsar on July 19 and 25, respectively.
He said, “Thousands of Indians still want to return. Many
companies in the UAE have been closed due to the pandemic and the Indians who
had been working with them have been left in the lurch. Some of them are not
even able to arrange two square meals.”
Oberoi said few
passengers had bought their tickets, but the tickets for most were purchased by
his Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust. He said his trust will also pay for the
passengers’ Covid-19 tests.

chairman of the gurdwara in Jebel Ali, said he hoped regular passenger flights
would resume so more people could be repatriated to India.
“We
have helped charter flights to north India and assisted families and men who
were needy and those with medical issues,” said Mr Kandhari, whose volunteer
group has paid the airfare for about 3,000 men and women.“I hope the governments will
start normal commercial flights so then we don’t need to charter planes.

back to UAE because they know that once the economy gets better, there will be
plenty of opportunities here.”
