The Indian government has urged its nationals living in Afghanistan to immediately leave the country by a special flight. The Indian consul general office in Mazar-e-Sharif said that India was arranging a special flight to evacuate Indians out of Afghanistan.
“A special flight is leaving from Mazar-e-Sharif to New Delhi. Any Indian nationals in and around Mazar-e-Sharif are requested to leave for India in the special flight scheduled to depart late today evening,” a tweet by the Indian consul general in Mazar-e-Sharif read.
Its subsequent tweet read, ” Indian citizens desiring to leave by special flight should immediately convey their full name, passport number, date of expiry by whatsapp at the following numbers: 0785891303 0785891301.”

The development comes amidst Taliban fighters wreaking havoc across Afghanistan with their violent juggernaut. The civil war in Afghanistan has dangerously spiralled out of control since May when the US troops began to leave the country. The complete withdrawal of the US forces from Afghanistan is likely to culminate later this month.
