Puducherry: Speaking on a video with Puducherry students stranded in Ukraine, Chief Minister Rangasamy assured that steps would be taken to bring them back to India soon.
There are 23 students from four regions of Pondicherry in Ukraine. The parents of the students met Chief Minister Rangasamy and asked him to take appropriate steps to bring their children home safely. Following this, Chief Minister Rangasamy held consultations with the authorities yesterday regarding bringing the students safely to Pondicherry. After the parents shed tears, he met the parents of the students. By then, some parents had brought their children from Ukraine to Poland. But, they could not come to India from there. Many Puducherry students are staying and studying in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Currently, the Russian army is actively fighting there, making it difficult for students to travel 6 hours from there to Poland. In tears, Malka demanded that the Indian government talk to the Russian government and take action to bring the students through Russia. Chief Minister Rangasamy explained the steps taken by the government to bring the students safely. Then, the students said, ‘We have something. We are now safely in the bunker. Food and drinking water are not available. Take us to India as soon as possible. ‘ We are taking all possible steps to bring you to India. God exists. Don’t be afraid of anything, be safe. ‘
Following the talks with the Union Minister, he telephoned Union Foreign Minister Jaishankar and Associate Minister Muralitharan and asked them to expedite the process of bringing the Puducherry students safely to India. He also sent a letter to the two ministers in this regard.
