The Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan after 20 years has triggered and escalated a humanitarian crisis that started when the United States began pulling out its troops in May.

Early this week, Indian Air Force C-17 aircraft that took off from Kabul with more than 120 Indian officials on board landed in Gujarat’s Jamnagar. The Government of India had decided to evacuate Ambassador in Kabul and his Indian staff immediately from Afghanistan. On arrival, the Indian Ambassador to Afghanistan, Rudrendra Tandon, thanked IAF for evacuating Indians under challenging conditions.

The Taliban government toppled by U.S.-backed local forces following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States is back in Afghanistan after two decades.
