Twenty-nine of fifty-four Sri Lankans who were stranded in Yemen due to the volatile situation there, arrived at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) last night.

There were 26 men and three women in the group, and they arrived at the airport last night at 8.15 via a Qatar Air flight. They were residents from Kandy, Yakkala, Wattala, Kirillwala and Ratgama areas.
