Another batch of 229 Indian nationals who were stranded in Ukraine arrived in New Delhi from Romania’s Suceava on Saturday morning as part of the ongoing ‘Operation Ganga’ in a special Indigo flight. Union Minister of State L Murugan received students at the Indira Gandhi International Airport. Earlier in the day, Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan informed that over 11,000 Indians have so far been evacuated from Ukraine.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday chaired a meeting to discuss the ongoing evacuation drive of Indian nationals and the situation in conflict-hit Ukraine. The government has also deployed ‘special envoys’ to four neighbouring countries bordering Ukraine to coordinate and oversee the evacuation process of Indian nationals.
