  • Operation Raahat: Hundreds of Indians and other nationals were rescued under this operation during the unrest at Yemen’s capital Sana’a after the complete takeover by Houthi rebel fighters in January 2015.
  • Operation Safe Homecoming:  The Indian government launched this operation to rescue over 15,000 Indian national stranded in Libya, which was in the midst of a civil war.
