India on Wednesday will wrap up Operation Raahat, a massive evacuation exercise, amid global praise for the timely, brave and highly precise rescue of nearly 4000 nationals from volatile Yemen where a Saudi-led air campaign against Shi'ite Houthi fighters has left hundreds dead and injured.
The last batch of Indian nationals aboard an Indian Air Force craft is due to reach Mumbai today, according to reports.
"We will plan to end air evacuation efforts from Sana'a on April 8 and all those who want to leave should do so by Wednesday," Hindustan Times quoted external affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin as saying.
The government’s efforts to pull, not just its own citizens, but also 232 persons from 26 countries from the strife-torn region, has been appreciated globally.
On Monday, more than 1,000 people were evacuated and India has been asked by 26 nations to help get their citizens out of the conflict zone. Full story...
