India on Tuesday issued an advisory asking its nationals to 'avoid non-essential travel' to Libya, in a partial modification of its 2016 advisory imposing ban on the Indian nationals travelling to the African country. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs said the Indian nationals in Libya are advised to 'exercise caution' and 'avoid inter-province travel by road' and remain in contact with the Indian Embassy in Tripoli. "In partial modification of MEA's Press Release dated 23 May 2016 imposing ban on Indian nationals traveling to Libya and in response to our assessment of the prevailing security situation in Libya, Indian nationals are advised to avoid non-essential travel to Libya," it said. "Indian nationals may please take note of the travel ban for compliance. The travel ban is effective from 3 May, 2016 till further orders," the 2016 statement said.
