As India has begun the evacuation process in Afghanistan already, the second batch of its nationals from Kabul, the US secretary of state assured Jaishankar of full support in future evacuations through civilian flights.

Jaishankar will today speak to UNSC members to evolve a broader consensus on the Afghanistan issue as well as meet UN secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, later in the day on the same burning issue. The Indian EAM will be chairing UNSC sessions on terrorism and peacekeeping for two days.

“Our priorities are Indians working in Afghanistan, Indians who went to Afghanistan despite our advisory, Indians who were employed by US and European contractors to work in Afghanistan, the civilian population of Indian origin and Afghan friends with traditional links with our country …. E-visas will be issued to those who don’t have documents to travel on application,” said an official.

Given the chaos in Kabul, EAM Jaishankar is working with the Americans to get the HKI airport ready to receive civilian flights so that Indians and Afghan friends with traditional links are evacuated from the strife-torn nation.

Close to 120 Indians, who were stranded in several parts of Afghanistan, will be brought back to India in a day or two on an Indian Air Force aircraft, according to top government sources.

On Monday evening, an Indian Air Force evacuation flight returned to India from Kabul with personnel and equipment. The aircraft returned with 46 personnel and some equipment.

The aircraft first landed in Tajikistan in the morning due to chaos at the Kabul airport. It could land in Kabul only after the American security forces controlled the crowds.

As per sources, there are around 500 Indian officials and security staff stuck in Afghanistan.
