“They will not be able to last for the new tour season.
Such a benevolent attitude of the Indians to this issue is valid until the moment when regular air traffic is resumed.
As soon as this happens, tourists will have exactly 30 days to leave the country, having received all the necessary permits, ”TASS quoted the diplomat as saying.
Fedorov drew attention to the fact that after that serious fines will be introduced in India - one day of delay on a visa will cost about 21 thousand rubles and punishment up to criminal liability.
