TV Actress Nupur Alankar's Brother In Law Stuck In Afghanistan, Calls The Situation Very Scary

One can only image the fear that Afghanistanis are going through after Taliban took over the country. Lots of Indians are also stuck in the country as they were there for their work and are desperate to come back as the situation demands.

One person stuck there is TV actress Nupur Alankar¡¯s brother in law Kaushal Agarwal.

The 50 year old businessman had a telephonic conversation with TOI and narrated the entire incident that has been unfolding in Afghanistan every since the Taliban¡¯s entered.

He said,

¡°It¡¯s a very scary situation here. When I reached Kabul on July 16, it wasn¡¯t bad and nobody expected things to spiral out of control in such a short span. My original plan was to return to India on August 15, but since I hadn¡¯t finished my work, I went to the Indian embassy for an extension of my visa till August 30.¡±

Talking about how the survival is become difficult each day Kaushal said,

¡°There are frequent power cuts and we have electricity supply for about three-four hours each day. Also, there¡¯s no proper water supply and we are able to take a bath only once in three days. I charge my mobile phone by using the car battery. They have instructed all mobile network providers to stop the connection from 6 pm to 6 am. So, I can make calls only before and after that. The Taliban can be seen patrolling the streets of Kandahar and it is unnerving. I am stuck here and all I want to do is return to India and be with my family. I have mailed a request to the Indian embassy, but there is no reply from them yet. My calls to their office have gone unanswered. I will have to go to Kabul to take a flight to India, but the worry right now is how do I get there?¡±.

We just hope he and rest of the people who are stuck there manage to come out. And we pray for a better situation in Afghanistan.
