Operation Ganga: Evacuation of Indians continues
“This evacuation process will be at government cost,” said Foreign Secretary Harsh V Shringla. He added, “Specific border crossing points were identified and the MEA had deployed teams to assist in the evacuation process.”
Shringla said he called in both ambassadors of Russia and Ukraine separately and conveyed his concerns about the safety of Indian citizens. “I’ve shared the locations where Indian citizens are concentrated. Both ambassadors took note of our concerns and assured us of the safety of Indian citizens,” the Foreign Secretary said.
India has been operating to evacuate Indians via Ukraine’s neighboring countries. The Indian embassy in Ukraine on Sunday said it is continuously exploring to facilitate opening up more border transit points with neighbouring countries for the evacuation of Indian citizens from Ukraine.
In an advisory, the embassy said it is closely monitoring the developing situation, especially in the eastern regions of Ukraine, and that it is in constant touch with the authorities for the safety of Indian citizens. The embassy urged people to stay calm and safe.
