Operation Ganga: The botched-up evacuation of Indian students from Ukraine

The Hindu  

It is painfully clear that India has not addressed properly the challenge of evacuating over 20,000 Indian students from Ukraine. The first advisory issued by the Indian embassy in Kyiv on February 15 said that Indian citizens, particularly students, “ whose stay is not essential, may consider leaving temporarily ”. February 5, 2022: Thousands take to the streets of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, carrying banners saying “Kharkiv is Ukraine” and “Stop Russian aggression”, as the country braces for a possible military offensive from Russia. In the morning, the Air India Manager from Amman would call me: “Morning, 1800.” It meant that enough flights had to be sent the next day for 1,800 passengers. I told him to carry a story praising Air India; the passengers were coming late for no fault of theirs as the Jordanian Police did several rounds of checks on the same bus, and yet Air India welcomed the passengers with a smile; the crew worked beyond the call of duty; and we all, those of us in the government and outside it, had to take a leaf out of Air India’s book.
