    All residents of Himachal stranded in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, are safe. They have been lodged in the Riyadh Deportation Centre and efforts are on to get them released at the earliest.

     

    The Indian Embassy in Riyadh has said all 14 Indians, including 12 from Himachal, were lodged in the centre. The information was shared by director (Gulf), Ministry of External Affairs, RV Prasad, a spokesperson for the government said here today.

     

    Of the 14 stranded, one person — Onkar Chand from Punjab — has been deported while two citizens, Tanuj Kumar and Devender Kumar, from Mandi district have been released with the help of their sponsors.

    Officials from the Indian Embassy in Riyadh also met the officials of the deportation centre, seeking their early repatriation to India.
