Amid escalating tensions in West Asia, the Indian government has successfully evacuated more than 3,000 Indian nationals from conflict zones in Iran and Israel. This large-scale operation, named ‘Operation Sindhu’, aims to ensure the safe return of Indian citizens willing to leave these areas.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed that the evacuation involves a combination of land and air routes. Initially, evacuees travel by land from Israel to neighboring borders, followed by air transport to India. This operation reflects India’s commitment to the safety and welfare of its citizens abroad during times of regional conflict.
This evacuation is critical as hostilities continue to affect the security situation in West Asia. The Indian government continues to monitor the situation closely and is prepared to extend support and assistance to other nationals as needed, ensuring a smooth and rapid evacuation process.
This effort highlights:
- The challenges faced by countries dealing with citizens in volatile regions.
- India’s proactive stance in responding effectively to international crises.
