They reached the Poland border by late Saturday night. Smith, 23, a resident of Bhavnagar city of Gujarat, said, “The Indian embassy told us to reach the Poland border, but there was no vehicle for us until 3 km before the border, at a check post. We walked around 40 km to the check post, where we were informed that Indians and Nigerians were not allowed to cross the border to Poland. We contacted the Indian embassy and got help. There were more than 1,000 immigration lines.”

“I haven’t slept for the past few days, and we had also run out of food. The Indian embassy provided us with bread butter on Sunday night. Our mobile phone’s battery is also, as no charging facility is available here. We are saving the battery to contact our families,” said Patel. We spent a night at the border in minus 15 degree Celsius, Patel said. “We didn’t get any help from the Indian government till we reached the Poland border. Flights to India are available from Romania.  The Indian embassy told us that they will take us back safely to India. We just hope that the Indian government helps us return home. The government should take the responsibility at this difficult time.”
