Indians in Iraq asked to return

Kozhikode, September 4
India today urged its nationals working in Iraq to return home in view of the situation prevailing in the war-torn country.

“The government will facilitate the safe return of about 5,000 Indians working at various places in Iraq if they are willing to come back,” Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed told mediapersons here.

He said the Centre had instructed the envoys in Baghdad and Kuwait to take necessary steps in this direction. — UNI
