The final group of 104 Indian nationals stranded in Sri Lanka following the devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah was evacuated on Monday, the Indian High Commission in Colombo announced.

“Last batch of Indian passengers stranded at Bandaranaike International Airport have reached home. A total of 104 stranded Indians arrived in Thiruvananthapuram aboard an Indian Air Force aircraft around 6:30 a.m. today,” the mission said in a post on X.

India has amplified its rescue and relief efforts across the island nation as severe rains, flash floods and landslides continue to impact large parts of Sri Lanka.

Under Operation Sagar Bandhu, the Indian Air Force on Sunday executed a hybrid rescue mission to save passengers stuck in a restricted area. A Garud commando was lowered to the ground to guide the stranded group to a helipad in Kotmale, from where 24 passengers—including Indians, Sri Lankans and other foreign nationals—were airlifted to Colombo.

“In a parallel mission, three critically injured individuals were evacuated to Colombo for urgent medical treatment. Earlier, five teams of Sri Lankan Army troops (40 personnel) were transported from Diyathalawa Army Camp to the landslide-hit Kotmale region to bolster relief efforts,” the IAF said on X.

In another rescue carried out on November 29, a family of four trapped on a rooftop was airlifted by a Chetak helicopter deployed from INS Vikrant and moved to safety, the Indian High Commission added.

Meanwhile, teams from India’s National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have ramped up operations across affected areas as Sri Lanka continues to grapple with incessant rainfall and widespread destruction triggered by Cyclone Ditwah.
