The Indian Embassy personnel in Damascus accompanied them to the border, after which our mission in Lebanon received them and facilitated their immigration, he said.

Indian nationals returning from Syria recall the 'horror'

The Indian Embassy personnel in Damascus accompanied them to the border, after which our mission in Lebanon received them and facilitated their immigration, he said.

A batch of Indian nationals, who returned to their homeland on Saturday after being evacuated from crisis-hit Syria, recalled the panic situation they faced in that country but praised the Indian Embassy there for being in "constant touch" with them.
Some of the returnees, soon after landing at the Delhi airport late evening, shared with the media their experiences of the last week. Sunil Dutt, a native of Chandigarh, and a mechanical engineer, alleged that there were some "anti-social elements" too in the streets who were also "looting stuff". It was a very bad situation and sights of fire and sounds of bombarding made it worse, he said.
However, the Indian Embassy was in "constant touch with us" and its personnel" asked us to be calm, not open doors" to ensure safety, Dutt told reporters at Delhi airport.
India has evacuated from Syria all its nationals who wished to return home after rebel forces overthrew President Bashar Assad's authoritarian government in the Arab nation.
The Syrian government collapsed on Sunday as the rebels seized control of the capital Damascus after capturing several other prominent cities and towns.
"We have evacuated all Indian nationals in Syria who wished to return home following recent developments in that country. So far, 77 Indian nationals from Syria have been evacuated," Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Friday during his weekly briefing.
The Indian Embassy personnel in Damascus accompanied them to the border, after which our mission in Lebanon received them and facilitated their immigration, he said.
Sachit Kapoor, a resident of Greater Noida, was also among the Indians who arrived in Delhi on Saturday.
"We were in Syria for nearly seven months. The situation worsened on December 7. We were shifted to Damascus city and then we saw fire and bombarding all around. It was a panic situation. We were a team of 11 at a luxury hotel. The situation got worse. People were running amok in the streets, some looting also," he said.
Because of the Indian Embassy in Syria, "we were shifted to Lebanon very smoothly and we faced no issues", Kapoor recalled.
The electrical engineer said in Lebanon too, "our lodging and food facility was very good".
He thanked the Ministry of External Affairs for the assistance rendered to the affected Indians, who wish to return to their home country.
Ratan Lal, another Indian national who arrived at the Delhi airport on Saturday, said: "I have been in Syria for the last five years."
When the situation got worse, "we were called to Damascus and there lodged at a hotel. And, then visa was given, and then we went to the airport for the onward journey," he recalled.
Lal said the situation was very bad and added that his family members told him to return somehow.
Chetan Lal, another returnee who hails from the Gurgaon district of Haryana, said that he has been working in Syria for the last 10 years in a glass bottle-making company.
"For three days, we were lodged at Damascus. The Lebanese and Syrian Embassy also cooperated with us a lot in aiding us in the return journey," he said.
The Indian Embassy in Syria continues to function, Jaiswal said on Friday.
Earlier on Monday, India called for a peaceful and inclusive Syrian-led political process to bring stability to that country. (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by Editorji News Desk and is published from a syndicated feed.)

&ldquo;The Government of India today evacuated 75 Indian nationals from Syria, following recent developments in that country,&rdquo; the statement read.
&nbsp;
Details of the Evacuation
The evacuees safely crossed into Lebanon and are expected to return to India on available commercial flights. Among those rescued were 44 'zaireen' pilgrims from Jammu and Kashmir who had been stranded in Saida Zainab.
The MEA emphasized its commitment to ensuring the safety of Indian citizens abroad and urged those still in Syria to maintain close contact with the Indian Embassy in Damascus.
&ldquo;The government will continue to closely monitor the situation,&rdquo; the MEA assured, reiterating its priority on the security of Indian nationals overseas.
&nbsp;
Syrian Crisis Escalates
The evacuation follows a dramatic turn of events in Syria. Rebel forces seized Damascus after capturing key cities and towns, leading to the collapse of the Syrian government on Sunday. President Bashar al-Assad fled the country and is reportedly seeking asylum in Russia.
The rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) now controls Damascus, bringing an end to the Assad family&rsquo;s five-decade rule. Assad&rsquo;s nearly 14-year tenure was marked by a brutal civil war, widespread bloodshed, and the suppression of political dissent.
&nbsp;
India Advocates Peaceful Resolution
In response to the developments, the MEA on Monday reiterated India&rsquo;s support for a peaceful and inclusive political process driven by the Syrian people. The government remains engaged in monitoring the situation closely.

Rebels uncover about 40 tortured bodies in Damascus, exposing atrocities linked to Assad's rule. The disturbing images trigger international outcry, demanding justice.

Rebel Fighters in Syria Uncover Bodies Showing Torture Signs

Rebel fighters told AFP they found around 40 bodies bearing signs of torture inside a hospital morgue near Damascus on Monday, stuffed into body bags.

Rebel fighters told AFP they found around 40 bodies bearing signs of torture inside a hospital morgue near Damascus on Monday, stuffed into body bags with numbers and sometimes names written on them.
"I opened the door of the morgue with my own hands, it was a horrific sight: about 40 bodies were piled up showing signs of gruesome torture," Mohammed al-Hajj, a fighter with rebel factions from the country's south told AFP by telephone from Damascus.
AFP saw dozens of photographs and video footage that Hajj said he took himself and showed corpses with evident signs of torture: eyes and teeth gouged out, blood splattered and bruising.
The footage taken in Harasta hospital also showed a piece of cloth containing bones, while a decomposing body's rib cage peaked through the skin.
The bodies were placed in white plastic bags or wrapped in white cloth, some stained with blood.
Corpses had pieces of cloth or adhesive tape bearing scribbled numbers and sometimes names.
Some seemed to have been killed recently.
While some of the dead were wearing clothes, others were naked.
Islamist-led rebels seized power on Sunday ousting former President Bashar al-Assad, whose family ruled Syria with an iron fist for more than five decades.
At the core of the system of rule that Assad inherited from his father Hafez was a brutal complex of prisons and detention centres used to eliminate dissent by jailing those suspected of stepping out of the ruling Baath party's line.
Thousands of people hoping to reunite with loved ones who disappeared in Assad's jails had gathered Monday evening at the notorious Saydnaya prison outside Damascus, AFP correspondents said.
Hajj said the fighters received a tip from a hospital worker about the bodies that were being dumped there.
"We informed the military command of what we found and coordinated with the Syrian Red Crescent, which transported the bodies to a Damascus hospital, so that families can come and identify them," he added.
