India Ukraine Airlifts

India's import orders to a Ukrainian firm for thousands of wheel sets for Vande Bharat trains have been hit by the war, but 128 wheels have been taken to neighbouring Romania by road and these will be airlifted by the railways for trials next month.

Under 'Operation Ganga' to evacuate Indian citizens from Ukraine, 1,314 Indians have been airlifted on Monday by seven special civilian flights from the neighbouring countries of the conflict-torn nation.

The Tamil Nadu government has decided to fly its legislators to neighbouring countries around war-hit Ukraine to airlift students from the state, becoming the first Indian state to join the international evacuation efforts.

Naveen Shekharappa Gyanagoudar spoke to his family at least twice a day from Ukraine's Kharkiv, where he was studying to be a doctor. On Tuesday, he made a quick call before leaving his bunker to bring food supplies. He promised a longer call later.

India's national tricolour came to the rescue of not only the stranded Indians but also those hailing from Pakistan and Turkey to cross into the neighbouring countries of Ukraine.

The opposition Congress and Trinamool Congress have attacked the government, alleging tardy progress of evacuation of Indian students from Ukraine, which is reeling under Russian attack.
