India Relaxes Travel Advisory
On Tuesday, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs announced a partial relaxation of its travel ban on Libya. This decision follows a recent assessment of the security situation in the North African country. Previously, Libya was on India’s travel ban list, but the advisory has now been updated.
New Advisory Details
The updated advisory advises Indian nationals to “avoid non-essential travel to Libya.” This means while travel is not completely forbidden, it is strongly recommended that only essential trips be made. The Indian government has taken this step in response to current conditions in Libya, aiming to ensure the safety of its citizens.
Indian nationals who are already in Libya are advised to exercise caution. They are encouraged to stay in touch with the Indian Embassy in Tripoli. For emergencies, the embassy can be contacted at +218943992046. The advisory also advises against traveling by road between different provinces within Libya.
Advice on Lebanon
In a related development, the Indian Embassy in Lebanon has recently issued a warning for Indian nationals in the country. Due to escalating tensions in the region, particularly after recent rocket attacks and the killing of a top Hezbollah commander, the embassy has urged Indians to leave Lebanon immediately. The advisory also recommends that Indians avoid traveling to Lebanon until further notice.
Indian nationals in Lebanon are advised to exercise extreme caution and avoid unnecessary movements. They should stay in close contact with the Indian Embassy in Beirut to receive the latest updates and guidance.
