According to a state government official, 231 Indians, including 208 Gujarat citizens, who were evacuated from Sudan under the Centre’s ‘Operation Kaveri’ landed at Ahmedabad airport on Tuesday.
Gujarat Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi, who oversees the state government’s Non-Resident Gujarati (NRG) division, received these Indians upon their arrival here from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia on a special flight, according to the source.
Talking to reporters at the airport, Sanghavi said these 231 Indians included 208 Gujarat residents, 13 from Punjab and 10 from Rajasthan. He said the state government has made transport arrangements to send the citizens to their respective destinations from the airport.
