Indian officials have rescued six tourists who were living in a cave in India following a lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The four men and two women had moved to a cave in Rishikesh in northern India after they were stranded in the country with very little money.

Air, rail and road transport have been suspended since 24 March. The six have tested negative for Covid-19 and have been moved to a private quarantine centre, officials said. The foreign nationals are from Ukraine, the US, Turkey, France and Nepal, and had arrived in India separately last year – they had been living in small hotels and private lodges in Rishikesh, which is a popular tourist destination in the foothills of the Himalayas.(BBC)…[+]
