Currently, Indian students are being moved to Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic - all nations which share border with Ukraine - before they are brought back to India under Operation Ganga. A flight carrying 249 Indian nationals landed in New Delhi Monday morning. The flight running as part of Operation Ganga had departed from Romania's Bucharest in the early hours on Monday. "Government has helped us a lot. All possible support was provided by the Indian Embassy. The main problem is crossing the border. I hope all Indians are brought back. There are several more Indians still stranded in Ukraine," said a student who arrived in Delhi from Ukraine. The Indian government has set up a dedicated Twitter handle to assist in the evacuation of Indians from Ukraine under Operation Ganga. There are still around 16,000 Indian students stranded in Ukraine.
