The Overseas Indian Affairs Ministry has decided not to issue any emigration clearance to anybody seeking employment in Libya following complaints of non-payment of salary to Indians working in various companies in the African country.
Protector General of Emigrants, which processes emigration applications, will not issue any clearance to Libya, a statement issued by the Ministry said.
The Ministry said the decision was also taken following reports that Libyan companies have put non-conforming contract conditions for Indian workers.
There will be no further emigration clearance granted to any worker, including nurses, for employment in Libya until further orders, it said.
However, emigration applications filed up to June 30 and attested by the Indian Embassy in Tripoli will be considered for clearance, it added.
