Haryana is next with 33 deportees, while Gujarat has eight, Uttar Pradesh three, and Goa, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan each have two. There is one returnee each from Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.

A police officer, speaking anonymously, confirmed that authorities are carefully monitoring the situation. Appropriate security measures and procedural arrangements have been made at the airport, with immigration officials, police personnel, and Ministry of External Affairs representatives set to be present.

The officer also mentioned that another flight from the US is expected to land in Amritsar on Sunday, bringing more deported Indian nationals.
