KATHMANDU: Nepali evacuees from China turned jubilant after an aircraft carrying them landed at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) on Sunday morning.

They expressed their happiness for a successful evacuation from the coronavirus-hit city of Wuhan.

“Happiness in darkness, from gloomy to cheers; feeling of returning motherland from coronavirus hunted city,” one evacuee shared a video on Twitter.
