PM Modi Asks Indian Air Force To Join Ukraine Evacuation Efforts

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the Indian Air Force to join the evacuation efforts of Indian nationals from war-torn Ukraine.

“Leveraging the capacities of our Air Force will ensure that more people can be evacuated in a shorter time frame. It will also help deliver humanitarian aid more efficiently,” NDTV quoted sources as saying.

Indian Air Force is expected to deploy several C-17 aircrafts as part of Operation Ganga from today.

Earlier today, a flight carrying 182 Indians landed in Mumbai. The flight flew out of Romanian capital Bucharest, as Ukraine has closed its airspace.
