'Reach City Centre Between 10 am to 12 pm': Indian Embassy in Hungary
The Indian Embassy in Hungary also tweeted a circular, asking stranded Indian students to reach the city centre in Budapest between 10 am to 12 pm.
"Embassy of India begins its last leg of Operation Ganga flights today. All those students staying in their own accommodation (other than arranged by Embassy) are requested to reach @Hungariacitycentre , Rakoczi Ut 90, Budapest between 10 am-12 pm," the circular said.
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi had said on Saturday that 63 flights were conducted under Operation Ganga, bringing 13,300 Indians back from war-torn Ukraine and neighbouring countries.
He, however, added, that the city of Sumy in Eastern Ukraine – which has seen unabated violence – was a major concern, and that the Indian government's priority now was the evacuation of 700 Indian students from there.
