Udaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and appealed to ensure the speedy and safe return of Indian students, who are stuck in Ukraine.
In his letter, CM Gehlot requested Prime Minister Modi that the central government should immediately contact the government of Ukraine, so that the Indian students can get a safe route to India through Poland and Romania.
“The chief minister mentioning his telephonic conversation with an Indian student, Ajay Singh, living in Ukraine, apprised the prime minister that Indian students are not getting a safe route from Poland and Romania to leave together from Ukraine. The officers of the state government are receiving messages from the students living there and their families that a large number of students have gathered at the border of Romania and are not finding a way to move ahead,” the public relations department of the Rajasthan government said in a statement.
Students are facing extreme cold at the Romanian border, and have been stuck in the war-torn country due to the current situation. The family members of the ones stuck in Ukraine are going through mental stress, the Rajasthan CM stressed.
Taking a look at the current situation at the Romanian border, CM Gehlot has appealed to PM Modi to direct the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) officers to assist at the earliest to the Indian students, ANI reported.
He has also written a letter to the Union External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar and has brought his attention to the problems being faced in regards to the safe return of the students.
The Centre is bearing the cost of evacuation given the emergency situation prevailing. The Indian Embassy in Kyiv and the MEA in New Delhi have issued several advisories before the situation developed, requesting Indian citizens to leave Ukraine.
