The embassy was shifted to Polish capital Warsaw, on a temporary basis, on March 13, due to what the Ministry of external affairs (MEA) said was a ‘rapidly deteriorating security situation’ in the east European country. Prior to being relocated to Warsaw, the embassy had already been moved from the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, to Lviv, which is some 70 kilometres from the Polish border.

Among them, as many as 15-20 people want to leave, said Arindam Bagchi, the ministry’s spokesperson.
