In the first tranche of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan after its takeover by the Taliban, India on Saturday sent medical supplies to that country in sync with its commitment of extending help to the Afghan people in their times of difficulty. The medical supplies were sent on a return flight that had brought 10 Indians and 94 Afghans to Delhi from Kabul on Friday. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the consignments will be handed over to WHO representatives in Kabul. “In view of the challenging humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, the Government of India has dispatched humanitarian assistance consisting of medical supplies on the return flight today,” the MEA said. “These medicines will be handed over to the representatives of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Kabul and will be administered at the Indira Gandhi Children Hospital, Kabul,” it said in a statement. India has been pitching for providing unimpeded humanitarian aid to Afghanistan to address the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the country. At the same time, India has been calling for the formation of a truly inclusive government in Kabul while insisting that Afghan soil .must not be used for any terrorist activities against any country. India has already announced that it will send 50,000 tonnes of wheat and medicines to Afghanistan by road transport through Pakistan. India and Pakistan are now finalising the modalities for transportation of the consignments. The MEA said the special flight from Kabul to Delhi, chartered by India, brought 10 Indians and 94 Afghans on Friday. “The flight brought 10 Indians and 94 Afghans, including members of Afghan minority community. The minority community members carried with them two ‘Swaroops of Guru Granth Sahib’ and some ancient Hindu manuscripts,” it said. The people were brought under India’s “Operation Devi Shakti” which was launched to evacuate Indians as well as Afghans from Afghanistan following the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul on August 15. “Under ‘Operation Devi Shakti’, a total of 669 people have now been evacuated from Afghanistan. This comprises 448 Indians and 206 Afghans, which includes members of the Afghan Hindu/Sikh minority community,” the MEA said. As many as 565 people including 438 Indians were evacuated from Afghanistan in the month of August. India has been concerned over the recent developments in Afghanistan. It hosted a regional dialogue on Afghanistan on November 10 that was attended by National Security Advisors (NSAs) of Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

काठमाडौं, २० जेठ । अफगानिस्तानमा तालिवान सत्तामा आएको झन्डै दस महिनापछि भारतले पहिलोपटक तालिवान सरकारसँग औपचारिक कूटनीतिक सम्बन्ध बढाएको छ ।अफगानी जनताका लागि खाद्यान्न र औषधिलगायतका सामग्री पठाएर तालिवान सररकारसँग आफूलाई ‘इन्गेज’ राखिरहेको भारतले पहिलोपटक आफ्ना अधिकारीलाई काबुल पठाएको हो । भारतीय विदेश मन्त्रालयले एक विज्ञप्ति जारी गर्दै मन्त्रालयका संयुक्त सचिव ९पीएआई० जेपी सिंहको नेतृत्वमा अधिकारीहरूको टोली अफगानिस्तान पठाएको जनाएको छ ।टोलीले भारतले अफगानिस्तानलाई उपलब्ध गराएको मानवीय सहायताको निरीक्षण गर्ने तथा अफगानिस्तान सरकारलाई सहयोग पुर्याइरहेका विदेशी संघसंस्थासँग भेटघाट गर्ने बताइएको छ । सम्भव भएसम्म भारतले गरेको सहयोग परिचालन भएका स्थानसम्म टोली पुग्ने मन्त्रालयले जनाएको छ । त्यसका साथै, भारतले उपलब्ध गराएको मानवीय सहायताका सन्दर्भमा पनि अधिकारीहरूले तालिवान सरकारसँग कुराकानी गर्ने विज्ञप्तिमा उल्लेख छ ।भारतले अहिलेसम्म आफगानिस्तानका लागि २० हजार मेट्रिक टन गहुँ, १३ टन औषधि, ५ लाख कोभिडविरुद्धको खोप तथा कपडालगायतका सामग्री सहयोग गरिसकेको छ । तालिवानले गत अगस्ट १५ मा अफगानिस्तानको सत्ता कब्जा गरेको हो । अमेरिकी सेनाले अफगानिस्तान छाडेलगत्तै तालिवानले बन्दुकको आडमा शासन सत्ता नियन्त्रणमा लिएको थियो । तालिवान समूह पाकिस्तानसँग निकट रहेको र आतंकवादी गतिविधिमा संलग्न रहेको भारतको बुझाइ छ । जसका कारण तालिवान सरकारमा आएसँगै भारतले आफ्ना नागरिक फिर्ता ल्याउनुका साथै दूतावास हटाएको थियो । तर पछिल्लो समय तालिवान सरकारसँग सम्बन्ध विस्तार गर्नका लागि भारत सक्रिय हुन थालेको हो । सिंहको नेतृत्वमा काबुल पुगेको भारतीय टोलीले गर्ने भेटवार्ता तालिवान नेताहरूसँगको पहिलो औपचारिक वार्ता हुनेछ । यसअघि अनौपचारिक रूपमा भने भारतले विभिन्न सम्पर्कमार्फत तालिवान नेतासँग कुराकानी गर्दै आएको थियो ।
