Basavaraj Bommai

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Saturday said that the process of tracing and tracking of students stranded in Ukraine's Kharkiv and Kyiv cities is on by the Indian Embassy. Many students have been brought back to India, but few others, who were not able to make any movement, are being tracked and traced by the Embassy, he said.

"There are few places where bombing is still going on. Evacuation is being planned immediately after bombing reduces. I am in touch with the External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, Indian Embassy in Ukraine and also with Union ministers who are there on the borders," the chief minister said.

Later in the day, Bommai also visited the family of Naveen Gyangoudar, who is the first casualty of the war between Russia and Ukraine. He paid his respects to the deceased, spent time with the family, and also handed over a cheque of Rs 25 lakh to Naveen's father.
