Disclosing this here today, NRIs Affairs, Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi said that amidst the corona crisis, many NRIs are either stuck abroad or in India because of the travel restrictions due to the lockdown. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has also held meetings in this regard with nine states to discuss measures to support and to offer any guidance necessary to these NRIs. MEA is also aware that NRIs might face economic hardships post their return to India once the lockdown is over.
