Conflict is going on in some parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). About 25 thousand Indian citizens live there. More than 1000 Indians were living in the city of Goma where the fighting was going on. Most of them have left safely. The Indian Embassy has also issued an advisory regarding this and has also issued a helpline number, so that if anyone has any problem, he can contact. Our embassy in Kinshasa, the capital of Congo, is in touch with the Indian community. At present, all Indian citizens are safe.
