78 people including Afghan nationals, who were evacuated from Afghanistan after Kabul fell to Taliban last month, were discharged from an ITBP Covid-19 facility in New Delhi on Tuesday on completion of a 14-day quarantine period.
The group includes 53 people from Afghanistan and 25 Indians, Indo-Tibetan Border Police spokesperson Vivek Kumar Pandey said.
These people were brought to this Covid-19 quarantine facility on August 24 after they landed here onboard an evacuation flight operated by the Indian Air Force.
The Afghan nationals have been sent to a designated location in south Delhi while the Indians are expected to go to their homes, a senior officer said.
The facility still has 35 people, who returned from Afghanistan, under quarantine that includes 24 Indians and the rest from Nepal.
