“I don’t know if the media in India knows this but there are about 150-200 Indians stuck in Afghanistan right now. No information has been given to us yet and we are desperately waiting for the Ministry of External Affairs to give us some response to our calls and emails,” the 32-year-old social development professional said on condition of anonymity.

“I spent hours at the airport yesterday (Monday) and could hear gunshots being fired for over an hour. It was unnerving,” he said, adding that the Indian embassy is sealed. “I, with a few other Indian nationals, then decided to live with local residents here in Kabul till the Indian government initiates something.”

He added: “We may think that we are safe inside these homes right now, but safety at this point is really an illusion. Every day amid this anxiety feels like a year.”
