After the Russian attack on Ukraine, Indian students had to walk several kilometers before the Poland border. Then news also started coming that Ukraine Border Police is torturing Indians, in such a situation the Indian Embassy in Poland carried out a mission which was impossible in the event of war.
The Embassy decided to enter the Ukraine border to bring the Indians. In the midst of the deteriorating situation and the firing, this task was as impossible as possible. The mission was to penetrate 30 km into Ukraine and evacuate all the Indian students to Poland.
Indian-origin businessman Amit Lath, who led the mission with the Embassy, told Bhaskar that 444 Indian students from Poland were sent to India on Tuesday evening.
The Indian Embassy became active as soon as the war started to evacuate these students. In this mission, the Indo-Polish Chamber of Commerce and Industries (IPCCI) helped to formulate the strategy. To carry out this mission, Indian students walking 30 to 50 kilometers inside the war-torn Ukraine border had to be brought to a safe area of Poland.
It was taking them 4 days to reach on foot. During this there was a threat of Ukrainian police excesses. On this, the health had also started deteriorating due to spending the night on the way during the cold.

Some of them were given the task of expelling the Indians from Ukraine, while some were making arrangements for their stay and food. A special control room was set up. From here the coordination and execution of the entire operation was being monitored.
