The second batch of Indian passengers gathered at the Tel Aviv airport to board the chartered flight to India under ‘Operation Ajay’ launched amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
The passengers were mainly those who are staying and working in Israel.
They applauded the government of India for the initiative and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
An Indian passenger Ashish Kumar said, “I am going to India. Here, I am a post-doctoral student, Agriculture Research Organisation. The situation in central Israel is quite normal, not like the Gaza border, Beersheba and nearby regions”.
“I think this is a very good initiative of the Indian government. I had seen only European countries evacuating their citizens. So, I appreciate the government for this,” he added.
Wagesh Dwiwedi, another passenger also appreciated the initiative and recalled the tenure of former Minister Sushma Swaraj.
