India is set to wind up on Thursday its evacuation mission ‘Operation Ganga’ that was launched 12 days ago to bring back Indian nationals following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Over 17,000 Indians, mostly students, have been evacuated so far under the mission.
The last flight is scheduled for Thursday evening, people familiar with the development said.
India has been bringing back its nationals from Romania, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Moldova after they crossed over to these countries from Ukraine through land border transit points.
Ukraine had closed its airspace for civilian aircraft after Russia began the military operation.
