"New Day, New Flight Home Our citizens bound for Delhi have reached the airport in Dhaka. Vande Bharat Mission will be taking them home today. 129 Passengers are booked for the AirIndia flight," the Indian High Commission in Bangladesh tweeted.

The first Air India flight of Vande Bharat Mission from Dhaka, carrying 167 stranded citizens who are all medical students, had arrived in Srinagar yesterday.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, repatriation is being carried out under India's massive evacuation effort named 'Vande Bharat Mission', which began on Thursday.

Air India plans to operate 64 flights till May 13 to bring back around 15,000 Indian nationals stranded abroad amid the coronavirus-induced lockdown.
