Russia is currently waging a full-fledged war on Ukraine, with missiles pouring down on many Ukrainian cities. After weeks of border tensions over Ukraine’s desire to join the US-led international military alliance NATO, Russia started a military operation in the country on Thursday.
In this situation, many people who are citizens of another country and are currently residing in Ukraine for various reasons are stuck in a war-torn country without having any plan to go to their homes. Though Ukraine has a large pool of Indian nationals, this war-made havoc also wrecked on them. Although many countries such as the United States of America leave their nationals in a war-zone saying that they can’t help them.
Earlier, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, India’s Foreign Secretary, claimed the administration had provided warnings before the situation in Ukraine deteriorated. According to him, 4,000 of our citizens departed before the conflict as a result of this advice. We believed about 15,000 people remained in Ukraine.
While many people left the country already, some people are still stranded in the different parts of Ukraine, even after receiving advisories many times.
But India since the days of the gulf war, left no stone unturned to bring our citizens back to their homes
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that his administration is “working day and night” to repatriate Indians who have been stuck in Ukraine. He continued by that their government “left no stone unturned” to bring our countrymen back wherever there was turmoil. Meanwhile, Hardeep Singh Puri, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Kiren Rijiju, and Gen (Retd) VK Singh, Union Ministers, would fly to Ukraine’s surrounding nations to oversee the evacuation.
In the wake of this crisis, the Indian government started the multi-pronged ‘Operation Ganga’ to rescue Indian residents stuck in Ukraine after Russia attacked it, amid the current Russia-Ukraine conflict. The ambitious project has already brought back many Indians from Ukraine but many returned people still faced so many problems in their own country.

Ayushi Rai, a resident of Awas Vikas Colony, Rishikesh, is a fifth-year MBBS student at the State Medical University in Jarnivisti, Ukraine. She returned to her home on Sunday after she made contact with the Indian embassy. After this embassy assisted her in bringing her to the Romanian border when she was caught up in the Russia-Ukraine war.
From the Romanian border, she was airlifted to Mumbai and at Mumbai, the government arranged for her to stay in a hotel. But after this, she had to go to her house on her own.
Disappointed at this, there was no help at the government level for the person to come to Dehradun from Mumbai. She reached Dehradun by air service at his own expense. According to some reports, she spends Rs. 6000 for going back to her house.
She told the media that she had to face a lot of trouble to reach Dehradun Uttarakhand from Mumbai. There was no arrangement to take her home at the government level, so she completed the air journey from Mumbai to Delhi at her own expense. From Delhi, she left for Jolly Grant Dehradun at 1:40 pm on Sunday. By the time she reached Dehradun from Mumbai. She also told that she had spent six thousand on the ticket.
Her statement attracted a lot of attention in both positive and negative ways. On one side, people are praising Ayushi for raising her voice against the mismanagement of government. Now many people are coming to meet Ayushi Rai, who returned home from Ukraine at their house. All India Congress Committee member Jayendra Ramola also met her.

But on the other side, people are criticizing her for unwanted demands citing that what the government did is enough is for her and she had to bear her own expenses when she was in her own country. Some are even saying that 6000 rupees are not a big amount that she can’t afford and her family her also well of. Some asked why did she not leave Ukraine earlier, despite receiving many advisories. So, she doesn’t have to demand more when she is already getting more.
What are you thinking on this matter?

Daylight robbery is not quite usual but it does not strike out the fact that it is highly possible. Many a time cases as such have surfaced online where normal people were robbed in broad daylight. Recently, the passengers in a taxi got robbed inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel in Delhi on Saturday afternoon.
Four men rob taxi passengers at gunpoint in broad daylight and here is what Delhi Police have to say
On Saturday, a delivery agent and his associate were robbed at gunpoint by a group of unknown assailants, stealing around Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 lakh cash from them. In spite of having 16 security guards in the Pragati Tunnel, there were no CCTV cameras installed. Although the Public Works Department assured that cameras are installed, they did not confirm their operational conditions.
The victims made a complaint at Tilak Marg police station later in the evening. The Pragati tunnel is a 1.5 km tunnel that connects New Delhi with Sarai Kale Khan and Noida. The police said that following the complaint made by the victims, a case has been filed under Sections 397 IPC which covers robbery, or dacoity with an attempt to cause death or grievous hurt and 34 (common intention).
The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Pranav Tayal, has shared that the complainant can be identified as Patel Sajan Kumar and his associate Jigar Patel. Patel Sajan works as a delivery agent for a private firm in Chandni Chow and has informed the police that he and Jigar were going to Gurugram to deliver the cash to a client.
As per the registered complaint, the two of them hired an Ola cab from near Red Fort. As soon as the cab entered the Pragati Maidan tunnel from Ring Road, four assailants on two motorcycles surrounded their cab and robbed the cash off them keeping them at gunpoint.
Delhi Minister Atishi also took to Twitter and slammed the incompetency of the Lieutenant Governor. She tweeted,
LG साहब: अगर आपको @ArvindKejriwal के कामों का क्रेडिट लेने से फ़ुरसत मिले तो कभी अपनी संवैधानिक ज़िम्मेदारी पर भी ध्यान दीजिए। दिल्ली वालों को सुरक्षा देना आपका काम है। और अब दिन दहाड़े दिल्ली में चोरी, डकैती और क़त्ल की वारदातें हो रही हैं। या तो आप सुरक्षा की ज़िम्मेदारी लीजिए,… https://t.co/RG4c9ozWnW
Coming across train service complaints on social media is nothing new. Very often than not we find passengers complaining about bland food or bugs in the cooked food provided to them. Quite recently someone took to Twitter regarding a complaint where they found plastic in the railway food. But the latest thing that happened has actually stunned everyone when a video of the roof of a passenger coach train surfaced online.

Netizens have harshly criticized the poor management and maintenance of the train coaches after a surprising video surfaced online.

The Congress party also reshared the video uploaded by a passenger and took to Twitter to play the blame game immediately.
“काश खोखले प्रचार की जगह रेलवे के लिए कुछ काम किया होता। झंडी दिखाने वाले रेल मंत्री अभी विदेश में हैं, नाम वाले रेल मंत्री ध्यान दें। (Wish some actual work would have been done for the Railways in place of empty propaganda. The railway minister who shows the flag is currently abroad, the named railway minister should pay attention)”
