As seven students, who were stranded in Ukraine, reached Bengaluru on Monday, parents of hundreds of students still in the war-torn country were trying all they could to ensure their children’s safe return.
Divyashree Nagaraj, mother of 19-year-old Suhani Girish, a student of Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University, said her daughter is among a group of over 80 Indian students, aged between 19 and 23, who are stranded at the hostel in Lviv. Despite making numerous attempts to cross the border over the past few days, they were unsuccessful.
“Going to the border means a dangerous bus ride and a 25-km walk in the freezing cold. While many students have returned to the hostels, there are hundreds who are still at the border areas exposed to the biting cold,” she said.
