Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren on Thursday requested external affairs minister S. Jaishankar to facilitate the return of a Bokaro resident stranded in Kabul.

Hemant approached Jaishankar on Twitter after he came to know about Bablu Kumar’s plight through a video of his wife Lakho Devi, who had appealed to him and the Prime Minister to facilitate her husband’s safe return.

Bablu, 37, works at a battery manufacturing unit in Kabul.

Soren tweeted: “I urge @DrSJaishankar to ensure the safe return of Bablu.”
