NEW DELHI: Six flights carrying passengers from Singapore, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are expected to land in India on Friday, bringing in another lot of the 15,000 stranded nationals to be evacuated from 13 foreign countries under the country's Vande Bharat mission.

Late Thursday, two flights with more than 360 passengers arrived in Kerala from the UAE, marking the return of the first lot of Indians stranded by the closure of borders and air space to contain the novel coronavirus disease, which has infected more than 3.6 million people worldwide.
