Parents of the students stranded near the Ukraine-Poland border have demanded urgent intervention of the Indian government to evacuate them to safety. As Poland has closed the air space, parents are a worried lot.
Expressing concern about the safety of the students, sheltered in an old school about 12 km from the Shehyni border crossing between Ukraine and Poland, Jofi Joseph of Kannara, parent of Catherine Jofi, one of the stranded students, says students do not have sufficient food or water to survive.
According to Catherine Jofi, a fourth-year student of Stepan Gzhytskyi National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies, Lviv, they went to the Rava Ruska border on a directive of the embassy on Thursday night. Rava Ruska is a land border crossing between Ukraine and Poland on the Ukrainian side.
