Following repeated advisory by the Indian Embassy in Ukraine asking all Indians in Kharkiv to leave the city immediately for their safety and security, there was panic among the students stuck in the city which is witnessing rising attacks. Around 400 students have moved to the railway station to board trains to the three settlements as advised by the embassy. The parents in India are a worried lot as their wards are left on their own and cannot be contacted for long periods. The Indian embassy has advised all to reach Pesochin, Babaye or Bezlyudovka by 1800 hours (Ukrainian Time) on Wednesday. It also added that if there are no modes of transportation, people should escape on foot.
