Ludhiana/Jind: Few Indians students stuck in Kharkiv and Kyiv have boarded the trains themselves to reach Poland limit and Hungary, while some have decided to stay because they find it too risky to leave without an officer accompanying or guiding them. But those who are left behind have no food to eat.
21-year-old Shubham Sharma, who is pursuing MBBS at Taras Shevchenko University in Kyiv, told TOI. “Indian embassy had sent SMS saying that three special trains have been started to take us to Lviv, from where we can board another train to reach Poland border. On Tuesday, when I reached the railway station along with other Indian students, a large number of Ukrainians were also present there. Ukrainians did not let us board the train. People were pushing each other to board the ship. Along with some of my friends, I managed to board another train. ,
