Manisha Lobo, studying medicine at Kyiv, reached her native place Sagar in Shivamogga district on Thursday morning.
As Russia continued to attack the capital city, Manisha and her friends left the city on Sunday by hiring a vehicle on their own. Along the route, they stayed at a bunker for two days, before crossing the border to reach Poland. She and many students reached Delhi on Wednesday afternoon by the special flight, part of India’s Operation Ganga. She reached Bengaluru on Wednesday evening and from there she took a KSRTC bus to Sagar.
“I would have completed my graduation in medicine if my studies continued there for a few more months. By June this year, my final examinations would have been completed,” Manisha told the media. She had to survive on bread and biscuits for the past four days.
