              New Delhi: India 
              Wednesday lifted a ban on emigration clearance for employment in 
              Libya. 
               
              The ministry of overseas Indian affairs imposed the ban in July 
              due to complaints of non-payment of salary to Indian workers by 
              their employers in the north African country.  
               
              "With the efforts of the ministry and the Indian mission in Libya, 
              outstanding salaries of Indian workers are being paid and the 
              workers are being sent back," said a statement from the ministry.
               
               
              "Since the situation has improved, it has been decided to lift the 
              ban imposed on emigration clearance for Libya with immediate 
              effect," the ministry said. 
               
              Following complaints of non-payment of salary and violation of 
              contract conditions by employers in Libya and recruiting agents in 
              India, the ministry earlier decided that no emigration clearance 
              will be granted to Indian workers, including nurses, for 
              employment in that country.
