Sushma Swaraj to ‘personally’ monitor Indian embassies’ responses to tweets

If you’re travelling abroad and need the local Indian embassy’s help, tweet to them and tag External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in your message. She said today she’ll “personally monitor” embassies’ reponses to such calls for aid.

Swaraj has often responded to tweets sent directly to her by Indians in distress abroad, and has intervened personally to help them. But today, she said her ministry’s adopting “a new pattern.”
