US military flight with 205 undocumented Indians aboard to land in Amritsar today
THE US on Tuesday deported 205 people, mostly from Punjab, on a military plane as it stepped up its efforts to remove illegal migrants. The C-17 military aircraft, which took off from Texas in the wee hours on Tuesday, will make a refuel stop at the Ramstein airbase in Germany before landing in Amritsar on Wednesday.
While there was no official word either from Washington or New Delhi about the deportation flight, sources said the deportees were verified before they were put on the plane.
A recheck of the passengers' nationalities will be done once the flight lands in Amritsar.
