The Indian Embassy in Doha has confirmed that Qatar Airways operated 25 flights to India between the 20th and 22nd of this month, carrying approximately 7,750 Indian nationals. As previously advised by Qatar Airways, flight ticket bookings can be made through the airline’s official website, mobile app, or via travel agents.
In an advisory issued to the Indian community, the Embassy urged residents to closely follow and comply with guidelines and directives issued by local authorities in Qatar. It noted that Qatari authorities have emphasised that adherence to instructions from competent authorities, as well as security and safety teams at workplaces, plays a key role in ensuring safe behaviour within buildings.
With educational institutions set to gradually resume physical classes, the Embassy requested the Indian community to closely follow emergency response procedures, including shelter-in-place protocols within educational facilities. The Embassy further informed that the Indian Ambassador met with a group of parents representing Indian students scheduled to appear for the JEE and NEET examinations, reassuring them that the Embassy remains in close coordination with India’s National Testing Agency and will provide updates as further developments emerge.
The Embassy said it continues to operate its Control Room, along with dedicated helplines, email support and WhatsApp services, to address queries and concerns raised by members of the Indian community in Qatar.
