The good news is this, that some of the flights operated by Indian Government have evacuated students from and via Poland and Bulgaria and students have been reached safely in India. But still there are lot of students stuck in war zone and some are in at Poland Border where the army of Ukraine Russia and Poland is not behaving in safe manner. Some of the videos have came from Ukraine that the high level of assault have been done with Indian students at Poland border. They are not clearing Indian students to enter inside their country. Approximately 2000 No of students stuck in Ukraine from all other nationalities in Hostel no 7 and the bunker of Bogomolets National Medical University campus in Kyiv including Jordan, Iran, Iraq, and many others. The parents and the students itself are asking for help asap. Although Ministry of external affairs of India recently made a Twitter handle @opsganga to evacuate all Indian nationals as well as students as soon as possible. All countries from around the world need to evacuate their nationals as well their students from all over the world. So we request all world leaders and concerned authorities are requested to kindly save these souls stuck in war zone regardless of their nationalities. ‘Students are scared as well as their parents. All students from Ukraine and their parents from India appealed to Indian Embassy in Ukraine and Indian Government as well as Prime Minister Narinder Modi to intervene in Ukraine to airlift their children from Ukaraine as well as from war zone areas. When we contacted one of the student stuck in Ukraine they ask to convey the message to parents as well as government to help them at priority. They are approaching the Indian government that their location is in the mid of war zone and it is difficult to approach and please help them in all possible ways. Although we have information for all the students due to fear they are unable to come up and share their details to media.
In an Exclusive interview with Indian student describing situation in Ukraine While having phone call with Raminder Pal a student in Ukraine from SAS Nagar, Punjab described the exact situation in Kyiv. He descrihe us that Indian Embassy is in regular contact with us and from last four days Embassy was saying that be safe in underground bunker and we will be coming to rescue you to evacuate from there. Now today Embassy told us to come to Poland and Hungary Border by ourselves. Three days back when he contacted us he was living on 33rd floor of hostel. And now they are on 7th floor. But when bomb shelling starts as well within 3 kilometres we go in the basement of the hostel, he added. So they are shivering in cold weather with sleepless nights. Even the food and other basic amenities are also getting short day by day as they have to reserve all things for coming time as well for emergencies.

Although the college authorities are taking care of them but due to large numbers of students it has become different to survive in these exceptional circumstances. Even some are suffering from health issues as well.
