All Indians in Syria Are Safe; Embassy in Constant Contact, Confirms Centre

In a reassuring development, the Indian government has confirmed that all Indian nationals residing in Syria are safe amidst the ongoing crisis in the region. According to a statement released by the Ministry of External Affairs, the Indian embassy in Syria has maintained continuous communication with Indian citizens to ensure their well-being and provide assistance if necessary.

The confirmation comes in light of recent tensions and escalations in certain parts of Syria. The government clarified that proactive measures had been taken to track and assist Indian nationals, including issuing advisories and setting up emergency contact channels through the embassy in Damascus.

“The safety and security of Indians abroad remain a top priority for us,” stated an official from the Ministry of External Affairs. "The Indian Embassy in Syria is closely monitoring the situation and maintaining a robust communication network with all registered nationals in the country.”

Reports indicate that a majority of the Indians in Syria are either students or professionals working in healthcare and infrastructure sectors. The embassy has urged citizens to avoid unnecessary travel and remain vigilant.

Indian officials are also coordinating with local authorities and international agencies to stay updated on the evolving situation. The Centre emphasized that while the situation remains under control, emergency response measures are ready to be deployed if needed.

This assurance from the government has provided relief to families of those residing in Syria, who had expressed concerns about their loved ones amidst reports of instability in the region.

The Centre has also encouraged Indian nationals to register with the embassy and stay updated through official channels to receive timely alerts and assistance.

This proactive approach highlights India’s commitment to the welfare of its citizens abroad, particularly in conflict-prone zones, and reflects the growing importance of diplomatic efforts in ensuring global citizen safety.
