New Delhi, March 8 (IANS) All Indian students who were stuck in Sumy area of war-torn Ukraine have been successfully airlifted through Operation Ganga, the government said on Monday.
Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that they had apprehensions but their mission to evacuate Indian students was successful.
"Happy to inform that we have been able to move out all Indian students from Sumy," he tweeted.
The Indian students were first taken to Poltava, from where they boarded trains to western Ukraine, and were finally airlifted.
Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju also said all the students from Sumy were taken out.
"It was very worrying but finally all Indian students from Sumy have been taken out. The intervention from the highest level & effective coordination of the team at the ground have saved our young students," he said in a tweet.
In a live-in relation with a Muslim man, an 18-year-old Hindu girl last month submitted an affidavit to police that she was ready to marry the man “if only he agrees to convert to a Hindu”.
Ushinor Majumdar has penned "God of Sin: The Cult, Clout and Downfall of Asaram Bapu" -- which will be cinematically adapted by filmmaker Sunil Bohra for his latest biopic on the disgraced godman and the women who took him down.
"I am on my own in this campaign. I move around on my Activa with a small poster in front and my security guard riding pillion. I am contesting the election because people, particularly traders, are fed up with the candidates of the bigger political parties," Ravinder told IANS.
