An associate professor from the Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College & Research Institute, Tiruchi, is stranded in Israel, amidst the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
S. Rathika, 40, who is on a two-month training programme on drip irrigation at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, left for Israel on September 23, 2023, before the conflict broke out.
“My wife has been spending sleepless nights at Negev, which is close to Gaza,” said T. Ramesh, Rathika’s husband, also an associate professor, and Head of the Department of Agronomy at Tamil Nadu Agriculture University (TNAU).
