NEW DELHI, FEB 22
India decided to evacuate its nationals from strife-torn Libya numbering about 18,000 and is finalising arrangements to bring them back home by air and sea.
“Arrangements for air and sea evacuation of our nationals from Libya are being finalised,” Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said, as the crackdown against anti-government protests in Libya turned bloodier.
Rao, along with other top officials from other ministries concerned, held a meeting to work out the logistics of the evacuation process which has already got a nod from the political leadership, sources told PTI.
