Countries across the world have been carrying out special operations to evacuate their citizens stranded in foreign lands amid the outbreak of coronavirus -- the pandemic which has infected more than 3,75,000 people and killed over 16,300.
The Indian government too has carried out the operations to evacuate its citizens from Italy, Iran, China, among other coronavirus-hit nations.
