‘Like being on deathbed’: Rescued Indians share tales of ordeals in Sudan

Delhi: “It was like we were on a deathbed,” recalled a relieved Sukhvinder Singh from Haryana as he arrived at the Delhi airport from Saudi Arabia on Wednesday night after being evacuated from strife-torn Sudan.

In his mid-40s, the engineer was among the first batch of 360 Indian nationals who returned home under India’s ‘Operation Kaveri’ evacuation mission.

Singh, a native of Faridabad in Haryana, recalled his ordeal in Sudan and said he was “still very scared”.
