Amid the very fast developments in Afghanistan, as US troops are expected to expedite the process of withdrawal from the country, while on the other hand, the non-state-actors are once again using the power vacuum in the country to increase their hold on the country, rumors on social media indicate that the Indian government is evacuating their personnel from Afghanistan.
It is worth mentioning that all US and NATO troops have left the Bagram airbase, the biggest and most significant airbase in Afghanistan, a US defense official told a media outlet, signaling the complete withdrawal of foreign forces from the country after two decades of war was imminent.
According to a social media an Indian Airforce C17 had to fly 6 hours to reach India from Hindon Air Force Station in Afghanistan. This increased time was allegedly due to Pakistan denying access to the aircraft the use of Pakistani airspace. The tweet added the route taken by the C17 aircraft.
There were social media rumors that the Indian airforce is airlifting its intelligence and diplomatic personnel. A/I Board PSF, another Pakistani account supported the above tweet by saying that India forced to take a much longer route to Afghanistan after Pakistan denies it use of airspace for military aircraft. India is evacuating some of its personnel from Afghanistan.
