New Delhi: Seventy-seven Indian students and a professor, who were trapped in Kyrgyzstan's southern Osh city hit by ethnic violence, have been safely evacuated, sources in the External Affairs Ministry said.
Most of the one hundred and sixteen Indians are still stranded in the strife-torn southern Krygyzstan and a majority of them – 114 – are students. While the city of Jalal-Abad has 15, in the city of Osh, there are 99 students, a professor and a businessman, the Ministry of External Affairs has said.
The Indian mission in Bishkek was in close and regular touch with several of the Indians and also with the relevant departments of the Kyrgyz government, its Foreign Ministry and security agencies. “Everything possible is being done to ensure the safety and well-being of the Indian nationals, within the constraints posed by the difficult ground situation,'' the Ministry said in a statement.
The mission was monitoring the developments and would take additional steps as soon as the situation in that country became more conducive, the statement added.
