Singh responded to a question raised by Badulgula Lingaiah Yadav, a Rajya Sabha MP from Telangana about the response of Vande Bharat Mission.
Singh replied, “As on 29.07.2021, more than 88,700 inbound flights have been operated and over 72 lakh passengers have returned to India from more than 100 countries. In the same period, more than 88,000 outbound flights have been operated and over 58 lakh passengers have traveled from India to foreign countries.”
