New Delhi, August 9
The Indian Embassy in Baghdad is in touch with nearly 30 Indians from Punjab and Himachal Pradesh who are desperate to return home, having been duped by travel agents.
There were some 350 people of different nationalities working on a housing project at Najaf, some 160 km south of Baghdad. Of them, 28 Indians, who have been forced to work on the project, have contacted the Indian mission.
According to the MEA spokesman Vishnu Prakash, the youths who had approached the Indian Embassy were being treated as ‘Indians in distress’ and the mission was trying to facilitate their safe return to India. The embassy was in touch with the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (MOIA) and the Punjab Government in this connection.
