All Indian nationals in strife-torn Syria are safe, and the Indian Embassy in Damascus is in touch with them, reports said, quoting sources in the External Affairs Ministry.
The sources said the embassy continues to remain operational and is available to assist the Indian nationals in Syria.
New Delhi has already issued an advisory urging its citizens not to travel to the Arabic republic as Islamist-led rebels continue to make further advances in the country. It has also urged those staying in that country to exercise "utmost precaution" and restrict their movements.
The Indian Embassy has opened a helpline number, +963 993385973 and an email ID, hoc.damascus@mea.gov.in.
“Those who can are advised to leave by the earliest available commercial flights, and others are requested to observe utmost precaution about their safety and restrict their movements to the minimum,” the MEA said.
On Sunday, the opposition fighters entered the capital city of Damascus, completing the fall of Bashar Assad's government. According to reports, Assad took a flight from Damascus and left early Sunday, though there was no immediate official statement from the Syrian government. The ousted president’s whereabouts remain unknown.
The developments have worsened the security situation in the region, with both Jordan and Lebanon closing all their land border crossings with Syria.
The Islamist rebels took control of the central Syrian city of Homs on Thursday after capturing much of Aleppo, the country's largest city. Tens of thousands of people have been fleeing Homs.
"We have taken note of the recent escalation in fighting in the north of Syria. We are closely following the situation. There are about 90 Indian nationals in Syria, including 14 who are working in various UN organisations," Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Friday.
