Repat our British Citizens back to the UK from India due to Covid-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

My family members who are elderly and have medical conditions are stuck in Punjab, India. There is currently a lock down in Punjab and every flight keeps getting cancelled. We would like support to get our family home back to the UK where they can self isolate safely.

I would like the Government to take responsibility to get their nationals home safely. It would be beneficial to organise flights and work alongside the Indian Government to ensure their safety.
