  • 5 years ago
India has evacuated 17 more of its nationals from the conflict zone of Iraq with the help of local authorities taking the total number of those rescued so far to 34 and also advised its citizens to leave on voluntary basis by commercial means in view of the "fragile" security situation.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), which issued a fresh travel advisory today asking Indians to remain indoors if they are in conflict-prone areas, said, "The safety of Indians in Iraq remains the matter of importance for the country."

"We have, with the help of local authorities, evacuated 17 more Indian nationals from the conflict zone of Iraq and they are now in Baghdad," the Spokesperson in the MEA said. The ministry had earlier evacuated 17 Indians from the country while 39 Indian citizens still remain in captivity. "The Indians in captivity are still in captivity but they are not hurt or harmed," the Spokesperson said.
