Foreign minister Sushma Swaraj said on Sunday that Govt was preparing to airlift stuck citizens from war-torn Yemen despite the bombing of the country’s main international airport.
Some 4,100 Indians are currently in Yemen, including 3,100 in Sanaa, 500 in Aden and the rest around the country, the minister said.
According to sources air evacuations would take place from Yemen, which has been dove into chaos by a Huthi Shiite rebellion that has triggered Saudi-backed airstrikes on the capital Sanaa.
