The Indian government has asked its citizens struck in Afghanistan to make immediate travel arrangements to return back to India before the commercial flights are discontinued. This advisory has come in the wake of increasing Taliban control over a large part of the Afghan provincial capital. Taliban seized a sixth Afghan provincial capital on Monday.
The advisory issued by the Indian embassy through a statement reads, “As violence in many parts of Afghanistan has escalated, commercial air travel services to many provinces and cities are getting discontinued. All Indian nationals visiting, staying, and working in Afghanistan are strongly advised to keep themselves updated on the availability of commercial flights and make arrangements to return to India before air services are discontinued”. It has also asked Indian commercial outlets operating in Afghanistan to withdraw Indian employees out of the project sites immediately.
