A plane with 168 passengers flew from Kabul to New Delhi

According to the Associated Press, an Indian official says that an Air Force transport plane with 168 people on board has left Kabul for New Delhi.

Arindam Baghchi, spokesman for the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that the plane flew from Kabul to New Delhi this morning and its passengers included 107 Indian nationals.

But he did not give information about the other 61 people who were on the plane.

Meanwhile, Baghchi tweeted that another group of 87 Indians and two Nepalese citizens who were flown from Kabul to Tajikistan on Saturday by Indian Air Force planes are scheduled to be flown to New Delhi today.

India began evacuating its citizens last Sunday after the Taliban attacked Kabul.

Meanwhile, India’s Press Trust news agency said about 400 Indians were stranded in Afghanistan, but no official figures were available.
