The MEA said the government accords the highest priority to the safety and security of Indian nationals abroad.
“Indian nationals remaining in Syra are advised to stay in touch with the Indian Embassy in Damascus,” it said. “The government will continue to monitor the situation closely,” the MEA added.
The Syrian government collapsed on Sunday as the rebels seized control of the capital Damascus after capturing several other prominent cities and towns. Assad fled the country after the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took control of Damascus, marking the end of his family’s 50-year rule.

Russian state media reported that Assad is in Moscow and will be given asylum. His nearly 14-year tenure was marked by civil war, bloodshed, and a brutal crackdown on his political opponents.
The MEA on Monday said it is monitoring the unfolding developments in Syria and advocated a peaceful and inclusive Syrian-led political process going forward in that country. (Maxim News)
