New Delhi, India (June 20, 2014): According to media reports 40 Punjabi construction workers in the custody of Sunni militants in the strife-torn Mosul city of Iraq have been located. According to Indian government officials these persons are safe.
Family members of 28 out of 40 Punjabis workers abducted in Iraq meet Sushma Swaraj. They were accompanied by Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal.
India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj yesterday told a delegation from Punjab comprising members of the families of those abducted that the Indian government would spare no effort to bring them home safely.
The Abducted workers of the Baghdad-based Tariq Noor al-Huda construction company were holed up in a government building or a cotton mill and are being provided food by their abductors, Swaraj told the delegation, led by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
“I am personally weighing all options. The government is making all kinds of efforts. We are not leaving any stone unturned,” India’s Minister of External Affairs reportedly added.
