Praises pour in for India for evacuating nationals of Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan amid the Ukraine crisis
Praises are pouring in for the Modi government for its rescue operation in Ukraine from the neighboring countries. The Modi government has undertaken Operation Ganga to rescue its Indians from the war-struck Ukraine. India has helped citizens of Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan in this tough time.
Even as several countries have been unable to undertake rigorous evacuation drives in Ukraine, with some even expressing inability to help their citizens, India is being praised for its robust programme in a war-torn region with ministers flying out to ensure Indians get home safely. Not only has India ensured safety for its citizens but is also helping its neighbours. Till now India has successfully evacuated over 16000 students via more than 76 flights until now along with citizens of neighboring countries.
The Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina thanked PM Narendra Modi for rescuing 9 Bangladesh nationals from Ukraine under ‘Operation Ganga’.
