Fear has gripped the Kashmiri students studying in different universities and colleges of Ukraine after Russia announced military operations.
As many as 170 Kashmiri students are reportedly stuck in the country and are seeking immediate evacuation owing to the prevailing situation in Ukraine. The students have also urged the J&K administration to take up the matter with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to evacuate them to their homes.
Some of the students stuck in Ukraine also posted their appeal to the concerned authorities by posting their videos on social media.
“There is no sign of war until now. War is still far away but we don’t know how far it is going to be. So we request the concerned authorities in India, Ministry of External Affairs to evacuate students to safeguard their lives,” Uzair Hamid, a Kashmiri student studying in Ukraine, said in his video message.—GK
