Russia has declared war on Ukraine. As a result, about 20,000 Indians are stranded there. The federal government has launched Operation Ganga to rescue them. So far more than a thousand people have been rescued safely. Similarly, Manoj Rajan has been appointed as a monitoring officer to rescue Kannadas stranded in Ukraine. There is also a 24-hour control room in Bangalore.
Thirty-one Kannadas stranded in Ukraine had returned home until yesterday. Six more returned home yesterday in this condition.
This brings the total number of returnees from Ukraine to Karnataka so far to 37. The number of Kannadas trapped in Ukraine was 346. That number has now increased to 451.
In a press release issued by the Commissioner of the Karnataka Natural Disaster Management Authority Manoj Rajan said: –
Travel expenses
Help desks have been set up at those airports to assist Karnataka students coming to Delhi and Mumbai by air from Ukraine. The government has accepted the travel expenses of those students to Bangalore by air from there. Steps have been taken to rescue the remaining Carnatic students stranded in Ukraine.
We are in constant touch with the Foreign Office in this regard. Carnatic students in Ukraine should follow the advice of the embassy. Avoid relying on misinformation. Students should only trust information that is officially released.
Thus said Manoj Rajan.
