    It was on Monday that the Indian Government made a decision to send four Union Ministers to five neighbouring countries of Ukraine to monitor evacuation of Indians, mostly students, who are stranded there following the Russian invasion of the country.

    Union Ministers Hardeep Puri, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Kiren Rijiju, and VK Singh will be going as “special envoys” of India, the media reported quoting Government sources.

    Jamia alumnus and Johri Farm resident, Dr Faizan, told the OT that Hifzur flew to Poland early morning and is part of the VK Singh team to help stranded Indians come back to the country as war rages in the country.

    He has experience in dealing with such situation during Saudi Arabia-Yemen border, he said. Hifzur studied in Jamia from where he did graduation, post graduation and then PhD and used to reside in SRK hostel.

    He came to the university in 1985, he said.

    Another alumnus, who knows Hifzur well, said he was posted in Saudi Arabia and other places as translator and then went up the ladder in the hierarchy to become Ambassador of Syria a few years ago.

    Currently, he is posted as director in a department in a Ministry, said Fiazan, who knows him since his Jamia days.

    India launched “Operation Ganga” to evacuate Indian citizens stranded in war-torn Ukraine.

    Union Minister of State for External Affairs Meenakshi Lekhi on Monday said: “Operation Ganga is something which I think in today’s time and age is one of the largest operations which the Government of India has undertaken. There were close to 20,000 plus Indian nationals stuck in Ukraine and we have extracted above 10,000 people and brought them to Delhi or Mumbai or other parts of the country.

    Many stranded Indians have been evacuated and brought to western neighbours of Ukraine like Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Slovakia, and Poland, and from there they are being brought back to India via flights.
