New Delhi: India Government’s operation to rescue the marooned Indians from the violence hit areas in Iraq has been moving fast.
Currently, the officials have been planning a full-scale evacuation of all Indians trapped in the disturbed areas.

Now, the evacuation is being carried out not only from Sunni-controlled troubled areas, but also from Shia-dominated regions that are relatively peaceful. This is on the basis of the belief that the situation in Iraq may soon turn out of control.

This week, over 600 Indians are expected to leave their workplaces and jobs and fly back to their homeland with the support of the alternate arrangements made by the Indian government. It is said that many of these migrants do not have their papers in order. The Indian embassy in Iraq has been trying to keep their documents in place and planning to put these Indians on available commercial flights from Baghdad and other Iraqi cities.

India has already sent two ships to Iraq to evacuate the stranded Indians from the riot hit areas. It is reliably learnt that cargo ships have also been sent to Basra to carry Indians to the nearest safe port from where IAF or Air India planes can carry them back home.
