Thousands of people are fleeing Afghanistan as the Taliban reigns supreme in the world, and the United States, which claims to be the world's superpower, raises its hand. The situation is such that people are hanging like buses in planes while a big decision has been taken by the Home Ministry of India to issue visa's to such people.
On the one hand, while India's mission is underway, in which efforts are being made to evacuate Indians by Air Force planes, on the other hand, a big decision has been taken regarding visa's. India has made major changes to its visa rules.

A new series of electronic visas 'e-Emergency X-Misc Visa' has been launched. This decision has been taken to expedite the visa application for those who want to come to India.
