“Initially, we were told that there was no threat of war. But all of a sudden it broke out and as war escalated, we had no hope of returning to our motherland alive. We still shudder as we recall the developments in Ukraine,” this is all the four students who managed to cross the Ukraine border risking their lives had to say on safely landing at the Hubballi Airport on Monday.
Devamane Milan of Dharwad, Najilla Gajipur of Hubballi, Sahana Patil of Sunaga village in Bilagi taluk of Bagalkot district and Vinayak Nyamagouda of Ainapur village in Belagavi district reached Hubballi on Monday.
They were received at the airport by Ladakh MP Amyang Tsering, tahsildars Shashidhar Madyal and Prakash Nashi and their parents.
