New Delhi: India today evacuated 75 of its nationals from Syria, following the overthrow of the Bashar Al-Assad government by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group.

The evacuees included 44 ‘zaireen’ from Jammu & Kashmir who were stranded at Saida Zainab.

All Indian nationals have safely crossed over to Lebanon and will return by available commercial flights to India, a statement said.

The evacuation, coordinated by the embassies of India in Damascus and Beirut, was put into effect following our assessment of the security situation and requests from Indian nationals in Syria.

The Government of India accords the highest priority to the safety and security of Indian nationals abroad.

Indian nationals remaining in Syria are advised to stay in touch with the Indian Embassy in Damascus at their emergency helpline number +963 993385973 (also on WhatsApp) and email ID ([email protected]) for updates. The Government will continue to monitor the situation closely, the statement added.
