A few students who returned home from war-torn Ukraine recalled their ordeal they endured before they crossed the borders to reach Poland.
Chandan Gowda of Kodagu who returned to his native town of Kushalnagar said they took a chance and ventured out of the bunkers to reach the railway station despite tremendous risk it posed to their lives.
Chandan Gowda, a student of Kharkiv National Medical University, was among the few students who returned early on Friday and he said that the journey from Kharkiv by train was traumatic.
