On Sunday,168 people, including 107 Indians from Kabul, were rescued by a military transport aircraft of the IAF amid all the dreadful conditions in the Afghan capital city.
India vacated 200 people in two C-17 heavy-lift transport aircraft of the IAF. People, including the Indian envoy and other members of its embassy in Kabul, were being carried by aircraft after the Taliban seized the country.
On Monday, the first evacuation flight brought in over 40 people, who are mostly members working at the Indian embassy.
On Tuesday, the second C-17 aircraft evacuated around 150 people, including officials, Indian diplomats, security personnel, and a few stranded Indians from Kabul.
