Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to ensure the speedy and safe return of Indian students who are stuck in Ukraine.
In his letter, Gehlot has requested PM Modi that the central government should immediately contact the Government of Ukraine so that 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 Rajasthan government said in a statement.
Gehlot said that students are facing extreme cold at the Romanian border and that due to the current situation in Ukraine and children being trapped in Ukraine, their guardians in India were going through mental stress.
Looking at the situation at the Romanian border, Gehlot has requested PM Modi to direct the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) officers to provide assistance at the earliest to the Indian students, ANI reported.
Gehlot has also written a letter to Union External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar and drawn his attention towards the problems being faced with the safe return of the students.
