Indians trapped in Afghanistan got a sigh of relief, special Air Force aircraft arrived to airlift

Posted on 16th Aug 2021 by rohit kumar

After the establishment of Taliban rule in Afghanistan, the Indians trapped there have got great relief. Commercial flights are closed from Kabul Airport and in the meantime, an Air Force plane has reached Kabul to bring the staff of the Indian Embassy and other people of the country. Afghanistan has closed its airspace to closed civilian aircraft, but people are still being evacuated through military planes. Under this, the Indian Air Force aircraft reached Kabul on Monday afternoon. On behalf of American soldiers, citizens of many countries are being helped to get back from Afghanistan.

 

The Indian Air Force aircraft that reached Kabul did not pass through Pakistani airspace but reached Kabul via Iran. A month ago, when the Indian Air Force plane was carrying officers from the Indian Consulate in Kandahar, Pakistan did not allow the flight to pass through its airspace. A huge crowd has gathered at Kabul airport and there is an atmosphere of panic. Apart from all the foreign nationals, there are also a large number of Afghans who want to leave their own country and leave. There was even a firing at the airport and 5 people are reported to have died in it.

 

American troops also fired in the air to handle the situation. Earlier, Air India operated its flight on Sunday. In this too he had to face the problem. When Air India's AI 243 was about to land in Kabul, the Taliban had come to Kabul. At that time there was firing in the city and the Afghan army was surrendering rapidly. In such a situation, the Indian plane kept flying in the sky for an hour and then landed. Not only this, but at this time the Air Traffic Control staff was also not present to guide the landing of the flight.

 

Now only military planes are left, people are restless to leave

 

According to government officials, the number of diplomats and their security personnel in Afghanistan alone is close to 200, who are waiting for help to leave from there. Apart from this, there are some Indian citizens as well. An official said that it is challenging to bring the staff out of the embassy to the airport premises. Let us tell you that after the ban on civilian aircraft, now the only way for people to get out of Afghanistan is military aircraft. Taliban fighters are also standing on the borders of Afghanistan. In such a situation, it is also very risky to go through any other country.
