Many workers in the Gulf country of Oman have lost their jobs due to coronavirus pandemic. The repatriating flights which are a part of Vande Bharat Mission have been a positive opportunity for these workers to return back home due to lack of jobs and depleting money.
As per the official data, 20% of the total population in Oman is constituted of Indian workers and they form the largest expats community in the Gulf country. Data suggests there are 448,000 Indian migrant workers residing in Oman.
