I am in the firm belief that the Indian traveller, irrespective of the reason for travelling, must be made take a compresensive travel insurance which must include illness and repatriation. This could be included in the air ticket along with the taxes. This money will then be used to cover the cost of such repatriation excercises. Foriegners travelling to and within India must also have such insurances. A number of times IAF or the Indian Army have been put into action to rescue them. Such rescue efforts are expensive and need to beduely compensaed. The visas should be issued only if a copy of the insurance(health, rescue and repatriation) are provided along with the application. I have suce an insurance so no one can say that they are not available.
