Indian workers stranded in Libya: Government says working to secure exit permits
India TodayThe Ministry of External Affairs on Friday confirmed that it was actively assisting the group of Indian workers who were trapped in Libya due to a lack of proper documentation four months ago. Speaking to reporters earlier in the day, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the Indian workers had travelled to Libya's Benghazi via Dubai without valid paperwork, leading to complications upon their arrival. "These workers had gone to Libya without proper documents, and when they landed there, issues arose concerning their work arrangements," said Jaiswal, adding that the Indian embassy in Libya has been extending all support to the workers. Jaiswal also said that the Indian community members in Libya, coordinated by the Embassy, have stepped in to provide assistance, including food and essential supplies for the stranded workers.
