The government on Monday launched ‘Operation Kaveri’ to evacuate close to 3,000 Indian citizens stranded in Sudan, the African country that remained on edge because of fierce fighting between the army and a paramilitary force. Foreign minister S Jaishankar said about 500 Indians had reached Port Sudan and that the government is working to bring them home in ships and aircraft.
