New Delhi: Moved by the plight of Indian students scrambling to get out of Ukraine after the Russian invasion, Indian professional boxer Neeraj Goyat is using his contacts in the war-hit country's boxing circuit to assist those in distress.
Goyat, who has travelled extensively to compete but not in Ukraine, claims to have close friends in the country's professional boxing circuit and he says they are coming in handy in helping students stranded in Lviv.
"Just this evening 32 students have been safely moved to Poland through a transport service that I managed to arrange through a local boxing contact Ostap (a boxing official). Another 14 are on their way to the Polish border from Lviv," Goyat told PTI about his efforts.
The 30-year-old said he first formed a whatsapp group of "2-3 of his close contacts", including a promoter and a logistics manager who have been involved in boxing competitions that he has been a part of.
