Dear Sir / Madam,

The Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India, with a view to facilitating and extending support to foreign tourists who are stranded in our country due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has set up a portal to disseminate information regarding the services that can be availed by them.

The portal is titled ‘Stranded in India’ and will help tourists get information/details of State / UT Tourism Departments and Regional offices of Ministry of Tourism. The site also provides Helpline numbers of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Bureau of Immigration, Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of External Affairs. Any support sought by Tourists on the portal, will be automatically redirected by e-mail to the identified nodal officer in the State / UT where the tourist is stranded.

The portal is also featured on the Incredible India website www.incredibleindia.org. Associations are requested to circulate this information amongst their members and may like to provide a link on their websites as well.

With kind regards,

Meenakshi Mehta
