9 days ago Indian government did not give clear instructions as they said if your prefer your should go. Only 2 days ago they said you must leave Ukraine. The flight tickets for those 9 days flight were 4 times of normal price (20-25k vs 80-100k), not every student has that kind of money to arrange in just 9 days. Many of these students were from final year and they had last exam to take. They were scared if they leave now what will happen to their degree and career. They did not get any confirmation from University and Indian government took a long time to talk with Universities and sort that issue. And as instructions from government were not clear earlier and it was about students' 3-4 years of study, degree and careere many of them were skeptical about returning.

It feels government was exploting students in such times by hiking prices of flights. Not every student that goes to study in Ukraine is from rich family.

Never heard of Government rescues charging people. This is news to me!

Yeah they did hike flight prices maybe because it was not official rescue mission like airlift one or one that they are planning to do now. But still does not justify hiking prices in such situations that too for students.

Well, if it’s not the Government run rescue mission then what can they do about it?  

Too soon for war jokes ..

People are dying as we speak

Soldiers and civilians from both ends

The same thing that they are doing now could have been done 9 days before. The instructions could have been clearer and in crisis/war situations governemnt has power to put cap on the cost. Air India has been exploiting crisis these days. Even in covid they were charging three four times for repatriation flights and as all other flights were banned onee had to pay so much for these flights.
