*India's Mission Kabul*

 For the last 3-4 days we are seeing that Indian Air Force planes are bringing Indians stranded in Afghanistan from Kabul.  It sounds very easy to see and hear, but we should also know how much hard work and diplomacy of the Indian government behind this.  First of all, we do not have any direct plane route to go to Afghanistan.  For this the most shot cut route is through Pakistan but as always Pakistan is a big hurdle in this.  That's why Indian planes have to take a long route and go through Iran.  For this, the Government of India first obtained approval from Iran for the use of airspace for Indian Air Force aircraft.  Getting this approval was not such an easy task because no country allows the airspace of another country to use its airspace.  But the Indian government was successful in getting this permission from Iran.  Even after obtaining this permission, there was another issue that Indian planes could not land directly in Kabul.  Because India's relations with Taliban have never been good.  Therefore, the Indian government could not rely on the Taliban enough to keep the Air Force plane standing there for a long time.  On the other hand, in view of the chaos and huge crowd at Kabul Airport, it was not possible that the Indian planes could remain there.  To solve this, the Government of India found another way.  For this he resorted to the airport of Kazakhstan.  Once again Indian diplomacy was successful and Indian Air Force plane got permission to use Kazakhstan airport.

 Now the Indian government also had another problem that how to transport Indians to Kabul airport because after the capture of Taliban, Taliban fighters have set up their check posts at different places and they do not only complete search of every person coming to Kabul airport.  Rather, he also puts an egg in it.  On the other hand it was not even possible for Indians to gather together at Kabul airport due to the chaos at Kabul airport.

 Eventually the Indian authorities found a solution for this too.  He arranged a large garage near the Kabul airport where he could house around 150-200 Indians at once.

 Now everyday Indians are first gathered in the garage.  This work of gathering Indians goes on day and night.  For this, the Indian officers themselves take their car and reach the place where the Indians are staying.  Taking them, he takes them to the garage adjacent to the Kabul airport, while beating their heads at the Taliban check posts built all over the place.  When enough Indians have gathered in the garage, the information is passed on to the Indian Air Force officers stationed in Kazakhstan and the US officials stationed at Kabul Airport.  It is noteworthy that the ATS control and security control of Kabul Airport is in the hands of the US Army.  After this, clearance is given by the US Army to land the plane of India.  Then the Indian Air Force plane standing at Kazakhstan Airport flies from there and reaches Kabul, by the time the plane's landing, all the Indians from the garage reach inside the airport in the US Army car.  They are immediately boarded in the Indian Air Force plane standing there and within 15 minutes, this Indian Air Force plane flies towards its country with the Indians.
