Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired another high level meeting late on Monday to review the ongoing efforts under Operation Ganga to bring back Indians stranded in Ukraine, according to an official statement.
The Prime Minister said that the entire government machinery is working round the clock to ensure that all Indian nationals there are safe and secure.
The Prime Minister pointed out that the visit of four senior ministers as his Special Envoys to various nations will energize the evacuation efforts. It is reflective of the priority the Government attaches to this matter.
Guided by India’s motto of the world being one family, Prime Minister also stated that India will help people from neighbouring countries and developing countries who are stranded in Ukraine and may seek assistance.
Meanwhile the ninth flight carrying 218 stranded Indian nationals has departed from the Romanian capital Bucharest for New Delhi under Operation Ganga, informed External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday.
Taking to Twitter, Jaishankar said, "We will not rest till our fellow Indians are safe. Ninth Operation Ganga flight departs Bucharest for New Delhi with 218 Indian nationals."
Earlier late on Monday night, another flight from Bucharest with 182 Indian nationals departed for Mumbai.
