Ullal

, who returned safely in an Indian Air Force plane from

Kabul

on Wednesday, said that the Taliban did not harm Indians.


“I have worked as an electrician in the military base hospital in Kabul for the last 10 years. I was there when the attacks were on in that country. There were nearly 500 Indians, including people from coastal Karnataka, in our camp. Nearly 400, including my brother, have already been airlifted to

Qatar

on Thursday. There are a lot of regulations, but the Taliban did not harm Indians. Till recently, they have not attacked Indians, even when people from other countries, were facing difficulties,” he said. On his future plans, Monteiro said, “For the time-being, I will relax for some days, and later will apply for a job elsewhere. In the last 10 years, I have not faced any kind of difficulties due to the war in Afghanistan,” he added.
