As India intensifies Operation Kaveri to rescue stranded Indians from crisis-hit Sudan, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday, April 28, said the eighth, ninth and tenth batches of stranded Indians left Sudan for Jeddah. The fighting broke out in Sudan on April 15 as the result of a bitter power struggle between the regular army and RSF, which has left more than 500 people dead. The 10th batch with 135 Indian citizens, who were stranded in conflict-ridden Sudan, have successfully departed from Port Sudan on an IAF C 130J flight, the MEA spokesperson Arindam said. “INS Tarkash bolsters #OperationKaveri efforts! 9th batch of Indians leaves Port Sudan for Jeddah with 326 passengers onboard,” Arindam Bagchi said in an earlier tweet. Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan took to his Twitter and wrote, “Port Sudan to Jeddah. 9th batch 135 Indians IAF C 130 J Welcome to the safe hands #OperationKaveri.”
