Plans to evacuate Indians trapped in Ukraine via Romania-Hungary, students asked to reach border posts

In the midst of the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Central Government and the Embassy have chosen the route of Romania and Hungary to evacuate the Indians trapped there. Efforts have been started to evacuate Indians from this route.

The Indian Embassy in Hungary said that evacuation teams are currently arriving at CHOP-ZAHONY on the Hungarian border near Uzhorod and PORUBNE-SIRET in Chernivtsi on the Romanian border.

The Indian Embassy in Hungary said that first those Indians, especially students, who are living in the vicinity of the said border posts, have been asked to reach there in an organized manner. He has been asked to coordinate with the team of the Ministry of External Affairs for this.

Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, more than 15 thousand people of India are trapped in different cities there. About 4 thousand people have left from there. Many people were also brought to Delhi from the initial flights of Air India. Russian bombardment and fierce fighting between the armies of the two countries continues. The army blew up three bridges on the outskirts of Kiev to prevent Russian tanks from entering. In the midst of the war, the difficulties of the Indians are increasing. They don't even have food and drink.

The government will bear the cost of the flight

Here, sources in Delhi said that the Indian government will start flights to evacuate the citizens of the country from Ukraine. The cost of these flights will be borne by the government.
