## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

## [SHRI V. MURALEEDHARAN]

(a) & (b) Information available with the Ministry on attacks on Indians living abroad is placed at Annexure.

(c) & (d) Whenever any instance of an attack on Indian nationals comes to   notice,   our   Mission/Post   promptly   takes   up   the   matter   with   that country's   Foreign   Ministry   and   other   concerned   authorities   to   take appropriate   measures   for   the   safety   and   security   of   Indian   nationals. When   approached,   host   Governments   normally   provide   necessary assistance and security to Indian nationals living in that country. Missions / Posts   also   provide   follow-up   action,   including   provision   of   consular assistance to the affected Indian nationals, security and shelter. Further, constant monitoring with the concerned local authorities for follow-up on violence cases, their investigation, trial processes, etc. is also pursued.
