Union Minister Smriti Irani on March 2 welcomed students evacuated from war-torn Ukraine at the Delhi Airport. The evacuees escaped Ukraine and went to Poland, from where they returned to India. “Welcome back home! Your families are waiting with bated breath. You have shown exemplary courage. Let's thank the flight crew as well,” said Smriti Irani. Indian government has launched ‘Operation Ganga’ to evacuate Indian nationals stuck in Ukraine amid Russian military operation in the country.
