"The mobility of Indians from the western parts of Ukraine is a bit easy given that these places are not under intense Russian assault. Those stranded in west Ukraine are close to the borders with Romania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. But those in eastern Ukraine, like Kyiv etc, are facing problems from the intense fighting," the official said.

He said the state government was in contact with the Ministry of External Affairs to ensure well-being of students from MP.
