News agency ANI quoted government sources as saying that India has been given permission to operate two flights daily from Kabul to evacuate its citizens stranded in Afghanistan.
Several countries, including India, are facing difficulties in evacuating people from Kabul in the wake of the chaos around the airport in the Afghan capital following the Taliban takeover.
Thousands of Afghan citizens are also trying to leave the country, fearing a strict Taliban regime. An Afghan woman who fled to India on Sunday said the situation in the country was “worsening” and her house was burnt down by the Taliban. A woman, her daughter and two grandchildren were among 168 people evacuated from Kabul on Sunday by an Indian Air Force heavy military transport aircraft.
