New Delhi: Union Minister Bhupender Yadav today received 183 Indian students evacuated from the crisis-stricken country. As part of Operation Ganga – India’s evacuation mission for its nationals – the Minister said 2,200 Indians are expected to land in India today.

More than 2,200 Indians are expected to be back home today. The government is leaving no stone unturned in bringing back its citizens from the conflict zone.

Around 13,300 people have returned to India from Ukraine so far by 63 flights under Operation Ganga, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Saturday, adding that 15 flights have landed in the last 24 hours carrying around 2,900 onboard.

This comes soon after Indian students stranded in northeast Ukraine’s Sumy city shared videos saying they have decided to take a risky journey to the Russian border that’s 50 kilometres away. In what they claimed would be their “last video” from Sumy, they said the Indian government and its embassy in Ukraine would be responsible if anything happened to them.
