NEW DELHI — Tourists from Australia, Britain and Canada are stranded in India's capital after their vacations were abruptly ended by a three-week lockdown and international flights were halted because of the coronavirus. Some said on Thursday that they are running out of money and hoping to be flown home with help from their countries’ embassies in New Delhi. Emma Snashford, a British tourist, said she has contacted officials in London but has been asked to keep waiting. Snashford and her friend, Lambert Desrosiers Gaudette, a Canadian, said they were visiting Jodhpur, a town popular for its royal palaces, forts and temples, but were kicked out of their hotel shortly before India announced the lockdown on March 24. They moved to New Delhi and managed to find a hostel that opened its doors to 25 foreign tourists.
