Goneh Solomon Raj, Joseph Kishore, Deevan Kumar, Mohana, Prem Sagar, Fenney, Benjamin, and others conveyed their sincere thanks to Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu, Union Minister for Civil Aviation, and Rajnath Singh, Union Minister for Defence, for their crucial role in coordinating the logistics of the repatriation mission.
