China has asked its citizens staying in India and willing to return to register their names with its mission here. Embassy sources said this part of the routine evacuations going on around the world and denied any link with the tensions on the Sino-India border.

Many of those who might want to return to China include students and those who have visa issues. The flights and destinations they will cover are being decided in consultation with the Indian authorities here, added the sources.

The notice says all those willing to be evacuated should register by Wednesday and they should be prepared to pay for their tickets and mandatory 14 days of quarantine in China. It says that students, tourists and businessmen will be allowed to fly back.
