NEW YORK : The US has airlifted 4,000 Americans from India, while 6,000 were waiting, according to the State Department's top consular official.

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Ian Brownlee said on Wednesday that India was "more challenging at the moment" in the repatriation efforts because of the lockdown.

Of the about 17,000 Americans waiting to return to the US, 6,000 are in India, he said. "We've already coordinated the repatriation of more than 4,000 US citizens.
