NEW DELHI: The External Affairs Ministry on Wednesday said that as scheduled, some 14,000 Indians have been evacuated from Libya, including about 1000 passengers who were flown back last evening and today morning, from Tripoli, on three Air India special flights .

Over the next twenty-four hours, some 2400 persons will arrive India in eight special flights, from Libya ( Tripoli and Sebha) and Egypt (Alexandria).

"Four Air India airplanes are on their way to Libya to ferry back 1000 persons from Tripoli and 400 from Sebha today, leaving behind the LAST BATCH of some 550 in Tripoli and 450 in Sebha, who will be evacuated tomorrow," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) release said.

"It may be added that our nationals from Sirte, Misurata, Benghazi and Kufrah have already been pulled out. The Ministry is confident that by tomorrow almost all Indian nationals desirous of leaving Libya will be back home," the release adds.

MV Scotia Prince arrived in Alexandria last evening with 972 passengers on board. An IAF IL-76 (Gajraj) took off from Alexandria at 10: 50 a.m. today for New Delhi, with the first batch of 181 of Indian nationals and is expected to land around 7: 30 p.m.

Three additional special Egypt Air flights are ferrying the remaining passengers to Mumbai, over this evening and early morning tomorrow.

"Naval vessels INS JALASHWA and INS MYSORE are already in the Mediterranean, just off the Libyan coast. The two ships have adequate carrying capacity but may not be pressed into service, given the successful air-bridge put in place between Libya and India since February 26," the MEA release said.

"MV Red Star One returned to Malta this morning, with 150 Indian and other nationals. A special Jet Airways plane is bringing them to India later tonight," the release adds.

Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao has said the evacuation of Indians from Tripoli, Benghazi and Sebha will be completed by Thursday.

So the IN sailed ALL that way not to be used?!?? I suppose it's a good thing and is good practice for future long-range deployments but still. I dread to think what the cost of replying these 2 warships on a 20 day round trip voyage would be. Hope they stick around for a while, who knows where this rollocoaster in Libya is heading.

Its about bringing back to India ,China evacuated its citizens and used South Europe as a buffer between Libya and China...so you evacuated your 35,000 sent them to Italy and others and then to China.The capability of your country goes to smoke when rescuing Panda,South Chinese Tigers or stray dogs for the matter from extinction.
