Last-minute addition to Kochi flight

An Indian national who lives in Salalah was added at the last minute to the repatriation flight departing Muscat for Kochi after he suffered a serious eye injury.

The doctors here had suggested him to travel to India to get it fixed.

"I am from Kerala. While I was at work, an object entered my eye, and I faced a lot of difficulties because of it. Now, having gone to the doctor's, he has told me that removing this here will be difficult, so it will be better to do so in Kerala." Sudhi, Indian national

The Embassy of India in Muscat made all the arrangements required for Sudhi to travel from Salalah to Muscat, and then onward to Kochi.
