Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai received an MBBS student named Chaitra Saunshi who returned home from Ukraine via Poland at Hubli Airport on Sunday.
She is a native of Yarguppi village in the Dharwad district. She was evacuated from Ukraine under the ongoing 'Operation Ganga'. Her parents were also present at the airport. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has regularly been chairing high-level meetings over the Ukraine crisis. Earlier on Saturday, the Ministry of External Affairs said that over 13,300 people have returned to India so far under Operation Ganga from crisis-ridden Ukraine. The Ministry also informed that almost all Indians have left Kharkiv city in Ukraine and the main focus of the government is to evacuate citizens from the Sumy area as it is challenging amid ongoing violence and lack of transportation. The government has also deployed 'special envoys' to five neighbouring countries bordering Ukraine to coordinate and oversee the evacuation process of Indian nationals. Russian forces launched military operations in Ukraine on February 24, three days after Moscow recognized Ukraine's breakaway regions - Donetsk and Luhansk - as independent entities. (ANI)
