“Indian government is striving to bring back stranded students of India from Israel. Prime Minister and his office are monitoring the situation and huge efforts are underway to get back our students who are stuck in that country,” she said.

She added that the government has successfully evacuated its nationals abroad in the face of crisis time and again.

“Whether it was Operation Ganga or Vande Bharat, we brought everyone back and I am sure the government and the Prime Minister’s Office are directly in touch with those people and are working and monitoring the situation,” she said
