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.
