The Indian Ambassador in Kabul and his staff will move to India immediately says the Ministry of External Affairs. Taking into account the prevailing tragic circumstances in Afghanistan, MEA made this statement. 

At present, the Kabul embassy is the only working mission in the war-ravaged country. MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi addressing a press conference said that it was decided that the ambassador in Kabul and his Indian staff will move to India immediately in view of the prevailing circumstances. "In view of the prevailing circumstances, it has been decided that our Ambassador in Kabul and his Indian staff will move to India immediately," Bagchi tweeted. The government has also announced a new category of electronic visa called ‘e-Emergency X-Misc Visa’ for Afghans, two days after the Taliban captured power in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, an IAF aircraft also left from Kabul to India carrying the Indian ambassador and other personnel. The emergency evacuation is made possible in view of the prevailing situation in the Afghan capital following its takeover by the Taliban. An Indian Air Force C-17 heavy-lift transport aircraft had brought back some personnel to India on Monday and Tuesday's flight is the second one. Thousands of citizens came while the Taliban enforced their rule over the capital of five million people after a lightning advance across the country that took just over a week to dethrone the country's Western-backed government.
