Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao has urged External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar to ensure safety of Indian students in Ukraine in these times of distress.
In a tweet, the Minister said he had been receiving several messages from anxious parents of students. “Hope Government of India can work through diplomatic channels and reassure all Indians at the earliest,” Mr. Rama Rao said in the tweet.
TRS MP G. Ranjith Reddy expressed concern that the Russia-Ukranian war which has been escalating in intensity had rendered hundreds of Telangana students in Ukraine unable to travel back to India. “It has been learnt that our students are facing several challenges and difficulties due to unfavourable situation caused by the conflict in Ukraine,” he said in a letter addressed to the External Affairs Minister.
