    What's the story

    More than 200 Indian nationals are still stuck in Afghanistan's capital Kabul, NDTV reported citing sources.

    They include Foreign Ministry officials and paramilitary soldiers tasked for their security.

    However, the Afghan airspace has been shut and there are chaotic scenes at the international airport in Kabul.

    The Taliban took over Afghanistan on Sunday after the capital fell and President Ashraf Ghani left the country.

    Details

    Stranded Indians include 100 ITBP soldiers

    The Indians stuck in Kabul include nearly 100 personnel of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), entrusted with the protection of Indian officials in Afghanistan.

    An Indian aircraft is stationed at the Kabul airport, however, officials are concerned as to how Indians can be safely taken there.

    The Taliban has notably enforced a curfew in the city, the aforementioned sources said.

    Taliban took over Afghanistan as President Ghani fled

    The Taliban is now in full control of Afghanistan after its capital Kabul fell and President Ashraf Ghani left the country over the weekend.

    The terror group seized city after city before reaching Kabul on Sunday afternoon and asking for a "peaceful transition" of power, which it was given.

    Ghani has reportedly fled to the neighboring Tajikistan.
