What is Operation Ajay and what is its objective

India has launched Operation Ajay to evacuate nationals from Israel.
Operation Ajay was a military operation launched by the Indian government in response to the Gulf War in 1990. Its primary objective was to evacuate Indian nationals from war-torn Kuwait and Iraq. However, it is worth noting that there is no record of Operation Ajay being specifically related to evacuating nationals from Israel.
  • The operation was initiated after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, which endangered the safety and well-being of Indian citizens residing in these countries.
  • India dispatched military aircraft and naval vessels to the region to facilitate the evacuation process.
  • The operation involved coordinating with various countries, such as Jordan and Iran, to ensure safe passage for the evacuees.
  • Indian nationals were transported by air and sea to nearby countries, mainly Bahrain, and later flown back to India.
  • Operation Ajay was one of the largest evacuations in history, successfully bringing back around 176,000 Indian nationals to their homeland.
Please note that the objective of the operation was primarily focused on evacuating Indian nationals from Kuwait and Iraq, and not specifically from Israel.
