Meghalaya State NPP President and Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Kharlukhi has been safely rescued and transported out from Israel to Egypt on Sunday.

Kharlukhi and 26 other citizens from Meghalaya were on a pilgrimage tour to Israel when there was a sudden attack by Hamas from Gaza against Israel on Saturday.

“As per the latest information and through the efforts of MEA and our Indian mission, our 27 citizens from Meghalaya, who were stuck in the war conflict zone of Israel and Palestine have safely crossed the border into Egypt,” Conrad said on X.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma who also happened to be the National President of NPP within an hour of the Hamas attack in Israel sent an SOS call to the Union External Affairs Ministry for safe exodus of Dr Kharlukhi and 26 others.
