Over 300 Indian nationals stranded in Sri Lanka due to Cyclone Ditwah were evacuated by the Indian Air Force (IAF) and brought to Thiruvananthapuram airport on Sunday, a Defence spokesman said. IAF aircraft operated from Colombo to Thiruvananthapuram reached at the airport by 7.30 pm, according to the spokesperson. “Another 135 personnel landed around 11 pm in C-130 J aircraft,” a press release said.They were among several Indians who were stranded in Sri Lanka following heavy floods and rain triggered by the cyclone. Norka officials received them at the airport and arranged buses for their further transport to different parts of the state. Most of them were from Ernakulam.

Sri Lanka declared a state of emergency following widespread destruction and death caused by the floods. Conducting multiple missions, IAF helicopters airlifted a total of 57 Sri Lankan Army personnel from Diyathalawa army camp and Colombo to Kotmale. Kotmale is the landslide-affected area in the central province of Sri Lanka, which is totally cut off by road.
