India committed to safe return of all citizens; to make flight arrangements after Kabul airport reopens

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday said that it is now committed to the safe return of all its citizens after the evacuation of its embassy staff from Kabul. It will make all necessary flight arrangements once the Kabul airport reopens.

India on Tuesday said that the evacuation of its embassy personnel from Kabul has been completed and the focus would now be to ensure the safe return of all Indian nationals from the Afghan capital in view of the prevailing situation in that country. India has brought back the Indian ambassador and all its staff members from its embassy in Kabul in two military transport aircraft in the wake of the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan after its takeover by the Taliban.
