The mortal remains of 20 Indian citizens who lost their lives in separate incidents in Kuwait reached Kochi on Tuesday night.

Complete details of special flight and return
Kuwait Airways special flight KU5632 was operated to bring the mortal remains. This plane was sent to Kochi only to bring the dead bodies and there were no other passengers on board. After reaching Kochi Airport (CIAL), all the necessary paperwork was completed and the bodies were sent to their homes via ambulance.
According to officials, this process was stalled for a long time due to some problems in operating flights from Kuwait. Now after partial resumption of services, it has been completed on priority basis. From the airport, these bodies have been sent to Kozhikode, Alappuzha, Kottayam in Kerala and various parts of Tamil Nadu.

The Indian Embassy has expressed condolences on this tragic incident and has assured all possible help to the families. The embassy said that an Indian employee was also killed in the attack on an electricity and water desalination plant in Kuwait on March 30. In this case too, the Embassy is trying to complete the legal process with the Kuwaiti administration and send the body to India soon.
