Mangaluru, Mar 3: Student from the city, Anusha Bhat, arrived at the international airport here from Ukraine on Thursday March 3. Anusha’s family, the MP Nlain Kumar Kateel and MLA Vedavyasa Kamath, welcomed her at the airport.
Anusha hails from Bejai and was pursuing her third year MBBS. She was one among the 18 students stranded in Ukraine after Russia declared war on it.
She said, “We took a bus from Vinnytsia to Chernivtsi, a border town in Ukraine. From there we reached the Romanian border. We had to walk for about 2 km towards the border post and then cross it by road. There were no government officials at the spot. Only Ukrainian army officers were deployed.
“We went to the immigration authorities at the Romanian border. We were then shifted to a shelter in Romania for two days. The Indian government then facilitated a flight to Mumbai from Bucharest,” she said.
Anusha's parents, Vidya and Harishchandra Bhat, thanked the deputy commissioner, MLA and MP for their constant help.
