An Indian Air Force (IAF) flight carrying 24 Indian and 11 Nepalese evacuees from Kabul is on its way to Delhi under Operation Devi Shakti.
“Op Devi Shakti in action!@IAF_MCC flight with 24 Indian and 11 Nepalese evacuees from Kabul is on its way to Delhi. #DeviShakti,” tweeted Ministry of External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.
The evacuation operation from Afghanistan in the backdrop of the Taliban’s takeover of the country last week is known as “Operation Devi Shakti”.
Earlier, MEA had urged all Indian nationals in Afghanistan requiring assistance to contact Special Afghanistan Cell immediately to move out of the war-torn country.
Afghanistan’s situation is worsening as people are in rush to leave the nation after the Taliban seized control last week.
