He reiterated Government of India needs a strategic plan for safe evacuation. Every minute is precious.
My heartfelt condolences to Naveen Shekharappa’s family. GoI needs to put all efforts to ensure safe evacuation of all Indians stranded in the war zone,” Bhalla said.
The harsh truth is students stuck in Ukraine and particularly on the Polish border are paying for India’s ambivalent stand and GoI’s lack of foresight and preparedness, ”he said.
“Feel terrible to hear this news, Prayers for his family.
Pray for the safety of all other Indians stranded and hope they will be back home soon. Hope the conflict will soon come to an end,” Bhalla said.
