The Indian embassy in Myanmar had rescued over 30 Indians out of the 60 trapped in the Myawaddy area after falling prey to the racket promising jobs in Thailand.
Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan on Wednesday said the Indian Mission in Myanmar is making all efforts to secure the release of Indians trapped in that country's Myawaddy area after falling prey to an international racket promising jobs in Thailand.
The Indian embassy in Myanmar had rescued over 30 Indians out of the 60 trapped in the Myawaddy area after falling prey to the racket.
Myawaddy area in southeastern Myanmar's Kayin state bordering Thailand is not fully under the control of the Myanmarese government and certain ethnic armed groups hold sway over it.
"Spoke to our Ambassador Vinay Kumar regarding Indians held in Myanmar. Ambassador apprised me on the developments and informed that all efforts are on to release the Indians as soon as possible," Mr Muraleedharan said on Twitter.
