The Indian Embassy continues to operate in Syrian capital Damascus and is in touch with the Indian nationals residing in Syria, government sources told ABP LIVE on Sunday.
The sources said that the embassy is in touch with all the Indian nationals and added that they are safe. They further said that the embassy remains available to assist the citizens currently in Syria.
The reactions comes as the Syrian opposition fighters earlier in the day said that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s more than 2-decade-old rule has come to an end after the rebels captured Damascus. The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed that Al-Assad has resigned and left Syria. There are no details on where has the Syrian President left for.
