Amidst the ongoing violent situation in Afghanistan, the Indian Air Force aircraft, which left Kabul with Indian officials, has landed in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Sources have informed the news agency ANI about this.

Earlier, sources had told that the government is planning to evacuate the Indian nationals trapped in Afghanistan. Sources had said that the IAF’s C-17 Globemaster aircraft took off from Kabul with over 120 Indian officers.

Indian officials were taken to safer areas of Kabul Airport on Monday evening. Here they were waiting for the aircraft of the Indian Air Force. There are still many Indian citizens present in Afghanistan, who are looking forward to returning home. At present, they are in safe places away from the areas of violence.

It is believed that within a day or so, they will also return home. The government can send a special aircraft for this. At the same time, the government has not yet given information about the number of citizens trapped in Afghanistan. The reason behind this is security reasons.
