The Sri Lankan Embassy in Oman, in collaboration with the President Secretariat and the Foreign Ministry of Sri Lanka, made special arrangements for the repatriation of 568 stranded workers from Muscat to Colombo.

The migrant workers returned home by two SriLankan Airlines flights on January 14 and 15, 2021.

Those deported included more than 300 stranded Sri Lankan migrant workers who had overstayed in the Sultanate after the expiry of their visas, the Times of Oman reported.
