New Delhi: In view of the increasing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, India evacuated its embassy in Kabul in a special Air Force flight on Tuesday morning.

Bagchi also shared the helpline number — 919717785379 — as well as the email address to help in coordinating the repatriation.
Afghanistan is passing through its worst political crisis in two decades as Taliban returned to power on Sunday evening following the withdrawal of US troops. Shocking visuals showed the terrorists inside the Presidential Palace after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.
