India advises its citizens against travel to Iran, Israel as Middle East on edge
Millennium Post Delhi|April 13, 2024
The Ministry of External Affairs on Friday asked its citizens to avoid travelling to Iran and Israel amid escalating tensions between the two countries following a recent strike on the Iranian consulate in Syria. Meanwhile, other several nations, including Russia, the US and France, have issued similar advisories for their citizens.

The Ministry also asked Indians who are currently residing in Iran or Israel to contact the Indian embassies there and register themselves.

The government also put a halt to the deployment of Indian workers in Israel's construction sector. The decision affects over 6,000 workers who were scheduled to travel to Israel in the coming months. The move follows the departure of an initial group of 64 workers earlier this month.

The Israeli construction industry, following the IsraelHamas conflict, is reportedly seeking to recruit a large number of Indian workers to fill the gap left by Palestinian laborers. A joint decision by Israeli authorities plans to facilitate the transport of Indian workers through subsidised charter flights.

Iran has blamed Israel for the strike and there have been fears that Tehran may launch an attack on Israel soon.

In an advisory, the MEA also urged the Indians residing in Iran and Israel to exercise utmost precautions about their safety and restrict their movements to a minimum.
