Due to lockdown, Workers of China have been stuck in their hometowns due to suspension of international flights in January 2020. Normal flights between the two countries are temporarily interrupted, but Chinese technicians have returned to the site by chartered airplanes. Due to precautionary measures, the travellers are placed to time in quarantine to limit their interaction with locals.

The work was in full swing on all projects including the transmission lines, roads and hospitals, before this pandemic.

The governments are in touch and are negotiating on this.
