They asked me to feel lucky to have such a government.” Shivanjali Gupta of Gorakhpur said,” I had given up hope, but the government encouraged me. After coming back to India, CM Yogi sir made arrangements for our stay in the UP Bhawan in Delhi and then I was sent home”.

There was only a problem till crossing the Romania border. But the government had made all the arrangements”. Lastly , Shivendra Pratap Singh of Bahraich said,” I was in Kyiv.
