BANGKOK: At least 125 Indian nationals were repatriated from Thailand's Mae Sot to India on Wednesday aboard a special Indian Air Force (IAF) flight.
According to the Indian Embassy in Bangkok, this brings the total number of Indians released from scam centres in Myanmar's Myawaddy - and repatriated through Thailand since March - to 1500.
As part of the Government of India's efforts to secure repatriation of Indians entrapped in scam-centres in South-East Asia, the Embassy of India in Bangkok and the Consulate of India in Chiang Mai province in Thailand have worked in close coordination with various agencies of the Thai government and Tak Province to facilitate repatriation of the Indian nationals.
