Four Indians evacuated from Syria arrive at Delhi airport
At the Delhi airport, four Indians who had been evacuated from Syria arrived. Indian people have commended the Indian embassy for their efforts in bringing them back home and expressed their satisfaction at arriving in India.
The embassy’s move is a continuation of India’s attempts to shield its residents from the carnage in Syria.
An Indian citizen commended the Indian embassy for their assistance and said that they were evacuated by the embassy.
After arriving at the Delhi airport, the Indian citizen told reporters, “I visited there 15 to 20 days ago. We were unaware that this would occur. We were evacuated by the Indian Embassy. They brought us to Lebanon first, then to Goa, and finally to Delhi today. We are pleased to have arrived in our nation. We were greatly assisted by the Indian Embassy. Since there are no airlines in Syria, they took us by bus from Syria to Lebanon. They then took us to Delhi after taking us to Goa on a plane.
According to another Indian person, they were transferred to the safe area in Beirut after the embassy instructed them to arrive in Damascus. He emphasized that the situation there is quite dire and that they have been hearing rocket and gunfire every day.
“We were working in Syria for the last four months,” the Indian national said. We spotted two or three rockets one day while we were working at the facility. After we notified the embassy, they advised us to visit Damascus. After spending one to two days there, we were transferred to the secure area of Beirut. For two days, there was a problem with the ticket. Two days later, we had a ticket from Beirut to Doha.
After that, we purchased tickets from Doha to New Delhi then Doha to Qatar. There, the situation is quite dire. We heard the noises of gunfire and rockets every day. We received a lot of assistance from the embassy, which also supplied all the amenities, such as meals and comfortable lodging. They even purchased our tickets. I express my gratitude to the Indian government and the embassy.
Another statement from the Indian national was, “We want to thank PM Modi and the Indian Embassy.”
Another Indian citizen expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian government for their assistance. “I want to thank the Indian government, Indian embassy, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for their support,” he said in a statement to the media. It’s in terrible shape there. When we first heard the noises of rockets and gunshots, we were frightened. It brings me great joy to return to India.
Another Indian citizen thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for returning them home, saying, “We got a call from the consulate. They ordered us out of Syria. Bomb bursts were also audible to us. It was a pretty terrible issue. when two or three days, we were taken to New Delhi when the embassy phoned and sent us to Beirut. PM Modi has our gratitude.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said earlier Friday that 77 Indian citizens have been evacuated from Syria’s conflict-torn country so far. Indian embassies across the Middle East are in contact with Indians there and would assist them if necessary, according to Randhir Jaiswal, the spokesman for the Ministry of External Affairs.Additionally, according to the spokeswoman, there is currently no need for evacuation from any other nation.
“A total of 77 Indians who want to return have been removed so far. Additionally, a number of other Indians have made their home there, been married there, or are now living there while pursuing a career. We will make it easier for them to return if they so want. Our embassies in Syria and Lebanon worked closely together to evacuate these 77 people via Lebanon. After we transported them by road, their immigration was made easier by the Indian embassy in Lebanon.
It was quite an exercise because of the large number of people and the lengthy immigration process at the border. After that, we made plans for their stay and handled their boarding and accommodation. Forty-four of the seventy-seven were on pilgrimage to different locations in the area. The remaining 30 have either returned or are now traveling and will soon be returning to India, he claimed, while the others have departed Beirut for other locations.
Jaiswal went on to say that the MEA has contacted and provided a number of warnings to individuals in several Middle Eastern nations, including Israel and Lebanon. They don’t yet need to be evacuated, however.
“We have contacts with other people in Damascus, and the Indian embassy would assist them if necessary. We have around 1,000 personnel in UNDOF and UNIFIL, and 3,000 people in Lebanon. To keep in contact with our embassies, we have sent a number of alerts. If an evacuation is required tomorrow, we will carry it out. However, nothing of such like is currently planned. The Indian embassy is in contact with the 32,000 Indian citizens who work in Israel to ensure their well-being. There are currently no preparations for evacuation from any other nation,” he said.
Repatriating Syrian refugees overseas has been a top priority for Mohammed al-Bashir, the country’s recently appointed prime minister.
Al-Bashir wants to “bring back the millions of Syrian refugees who are abroad” as part of his plans to bring the nation back to normalcy. The Syrian government is still dealing with issues, such as the turmoil around Hafez al-Assad’s recently burned mausoleum.
