Taliban took over Afghanistan on August 15, seizing the presidential palace and taking control of Kabul after President Ashraf Ghani escaped from the country.

People in the country are gripped in fear and have been attempting to flee. Meanwhile, several countries, including India are carrying out the evacuation of their citizens as well as native Afghans from the war-torn country.
