10,000 Indians evacuated from Libya: SM Krishna

India has evacuated around 10,000 of its citizens from Libya and is reviewing the situation there almost on a daily basis, external affairs minister SM Krishna said on Friday.

"I think we have evacuated around 10,000 Indians from Libya and by tomorrow, I am hopeful that it (the number) should be around 12,000," he told reporters after attending a function in Bangalore.

"I think to a very large extent, we would have evacuated Indians from Libya," Krishna said.

"In the meanwhile, we are in constant touch with (our) ambassador both in Libya as well as in Egypt so that there is greater coordination. So, we will review the evacuation proceedings almost on a day-to-day basis," he said.
