360 Indians evacuated from Sudan reach New Delhi

The Hindu  

India on Wednesday evening flew back the first group of citizens who were stranded in crisis-torn Sudan. Operation Kaveri brings 360 Indian nationals to the homeland as first flight reaches New Delhi,” said External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar. As a result, Indian officials facilitating the evacuation from Port Sudan, had to process a significant number of special cases where people could not produce passports or OCI cards. As soon as the fighting began, the bridges were sealed over by the Sudanese Armed Forces which stopped many expats from reaching homes or workstations to pick up their personal documents like passports,” said an Indian businessman, who is among those who left his OCI card behind while fleeing Khartoum.
