New Delhi: With the
situation in Yemen worsening by the day, India Saturday set up helplines for Indian nationals and persons of Indian origin (PIOs)
living in the violence-hit Arab nation and reiterated its earlier
advisory to them to leave the country as soon as possible.
Keeping in view the evolving situation and to provide information
and assistance to Indian nationals or their family members,
India's external affairs ministry and the Indian embassy in Sana'a
have set up helplines. The contact details are -- +91 11 2301 5300
and +91 11 2301 2113; Fax: +91 11 2301 8158; and e-mail:
controlroom@mea.gov.in.
More than a week ago, the external affairs ministry advised Indian
nationals in Yemen to exit the country through available
commercial means. The ministry Saturday repeated its advice as
over 10,000 PIOs and Indian nationals are still estimated to be in
Yemen.
In an advisory issued May 27, the PIOs and Indian nationals were
also advised that till they exit, they should not venture out
except under absolutely unavoidable circumstances.
Violent clashes between anti-government protesters and security
forces are spreading fast in Yemen, where people are demanding the
end of the 33-year rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
