A Bathinda-based educationist couple, who was scheduled to board a return flight from Sharjah airport on Saturday but was stranded due to the temporary suspension of operations there due to the ongoing tension between US and Iran, has now shifted to the residence of an acquaintance.Earlier, Neeru Garg, Principal of SSD Girls’ College, Bathinda, had shared videos claiming that she was running out of money and medicines. She, along with her husband, Prof Parveen Garg, who recently retired as Vice-Principal of DAV College, Bathinda, had travelled to UAE for a leisure trip from February 23 to 28.Anil Bhola, Administrator of SSD Girls’ College, Bathinda, said, “I am in regular contact with them. They have now moved to the residence of a relative of a Bathinda resident there.”Even the Ministry of Civil Aviation, responding to a news published in The Tribune on Monday titled “Out of money, stranded Bathinda couple calls for help” through a tweet, has sought details of the couple to reach out to them.Further, an official of the airline, whose flight they were scheduled to board from Sharjah to Amritsar, claimed that the couple would be accommodated on the next available flight.Punjab NRI Minister Dr Ravjot Singh also spoke to Neeru Garg over the phone and assured all possible help, saying that the state government would appeal to the Centre to arrange special planes for the stranded tourists.PCC president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring has written a letter to the Ministry of External Affairs seeking help for them.
