New Delhi: Amid India’s efforts to bring back stranded students and citizens from the conflict-torn Ukraine, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on President Ram Nath Kovind and briefed him on the prevailing situation and steps being taken by the government, sources informed on Tuesday.
Yesterday, PM Modi while presiding over a high-level meeting over the Ukraine crisis said that the entire government machinery is working round the clock to ensure that all stranded Indians in Ukraine are safe and secure, said Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.
This was the second high-level meeting chaired by the Prime Minister during the day over the prevailing situation in Ukraine.

The seventh flight carrying 182 Indian nationals stranded in Ukraine reached Mumbai from Romania’s Bucharest today.
