All Indian nationals in Japan are safe and 30 to 40 of them from Sendai, worst affected by the March 11 quake-tsunami, left on Wednesday for India.
The Indians were earlier safely brought to a hotel here from various rehabilitation centres in Sendai, Indian ambassador Alok Prasad told PTI.
Mr. Prasad said the embassy would facilitate the return of all those who wanted to travel to India. “Some of them wanted to go because they have small children or due to the nature of their work contract. They want to leave for their personal reasons, there is no official advisory,” he said.
Though the flights from Tokyo and Osaka are going full, the number of Indians wanting to come back was only in hundreds out of the 25,000-strong community.
“We are in very close touch with the government of Japan, with their monitoring of radiation levels. We are also in touch with the Indian community,” he said.
The embassy would also facilitate travel of all those who may have lost travel or any other documents.
Mr. Prasad said he handed over the first consignment of relief materials, including woollen blankets, to the state secretary who appreciated the gesture.
Mr. Prasad said the embassy had set up a 24-hour helpline and was giving regular updates on its website.
