New Delhi: India has decided to deploy paramilitary to guard its embassy in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said Saturday.
Shinde told mediapersons here that his ministry approved the external affairs ministry’s proposal to deploy an armed contingent at the Indian embassy in the north African country, which has seen civilian strife.
“The ministry of home affairs on Oct 17, gave in-principle approval to the proposal of the ministry of external affairs to deploy an armed contingent drawn from any of the CAPFs (central armed police forces) at the embassy and the embassy residence in Tripoli,” Shinde said.
