More than 150 stranded Indian evacuees reached Gujarat’s Rajkot bus stand, on May 2, from war-torn Sudan under Operation Kaveri.
At the bus stand, the evacuees were welcomed with roses and toffees and the drums were played. ADM Rajkot S J Khachar, who was there at the Rajkot bus stand to receive the evacuees, said that 156 people, who have reached earlier in Agemdabad from Sudan, have reached Rajkot and will be sent to their houses and earlier two senior citizens were sent back to their homes by ambulance.
Earlier, on Tuesday morning, 231 Indian evacuees reached Gujarat’s Ahmedabad from Saudi Arabia's Jeddah, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said.
“This is only possible because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We have reached safely because of Narendra Modi. We met our family members. We are very thankful to PM Modi,” an evacuee said. “I am very happy to be back in India. The situation in Sudan is very bad. The civil war is going on in the country. It was not impossible to come out in such a situation thanks to PM Modi, the Indian Navy, the Indian Air Force, the External Affairs Ministry, and the Embassy of Sudan,” another evacuee said. “I am very grateful to the Indian government, PM Modi and the Indian military. All the arrangements were great and smooth.”
