A local Afghan staffer at the closed Indian Consulate in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, sustained minor injuries in an incident, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). Indian authorities are in contact with their Afghan counterparts and awaiting further details. India had shut the consulate in 2020, though it continues humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan. Partnering with UNODC, India has supplied over 50,000 MT of wheat, medical aid, and earthquake relief. The Indian Embassy in Kabul operates with a technical team focused on aid delivery. India aligns its Afghanistan policy with historical ties and UN resolutions, including UNSCR 2593.
