“Ministry of External Affairs advises all Indian nationals against all travel to South Sudan till situation improves,” it added. “It is important to have exact number of Indian nationals seeking facility of evacuation to make arrangements. Please be brief,” the advisory on assistance for Indian nationals in South Sudan had said. Yesterday, MEA in its advisory had said Indian nationals desirous of departing for South Sudan may register themselves at the email ID controlroomjuba@gmail.com. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday chaired a high-level meeting to review the situation in South Sudan after which she said the government has made arrangements for the evacuation of Indians from the war-torn country.
