On Tuesday, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj directed the authorities at the Indian Embassy in Washington to work despite a two-day holiday to issue a visa for an Indian man.

About 10,000 Indian workers are stranded in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait after being laid off from work. In such a grim situation, the Indian government is supporting its people by making sure that they get free food items.

In its endeavour to help in the development of Afghanistan, India has taken yet another wonderful step. As per a recent agreement, India will be contributing towards the treatment of about 4,000 Afghan children who are suffering from heart conditions, by providing financial help for their surgeries.
