For violating this ban, the government has warned of imprisonment for five years or a fine of US $ 50,899. The move was criticized by many MPs, doctors, civil society and businessmen. The government’s order on the matter will expire on May 15
Australia will send three aircraft between 15 May and 31 May to bring civilians home. The first aircraft will reach Darwin on 15 May. There are still restrictions on direct commercial flights from India.
