Indian nationals will be evacuated via Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia’s border crossing locations. ‘Operation Ganga,’ a multi-pronged evacuation effort, was also initiated by India.

‘OpGanga,’ a fanatical Twitter handle, has been launched by Ministry.

As Russia’s onslaught against Ukraine increased, India evacuated stranded nationals on February 26 under Operation Ganga.

After Ukrainian airspace was closed to civil aircraft operations on February 24, an evacuation effort began.

The Indian government has managed to fly three special Air India planes to bring stranded individuals Home.

During the current emergency, the Indian government recognizes the importance of evacuation.
