LIBYA LD NAVY 2 LAST

INS Jalashwa, the largest amphibious platform of the
Indian Navy designed for sea-lift missions and is also capable
of undertaking humanitarian missions.
The over 27,000-tonne ship can carry more than 1000
passengers.
The MEA has already hired a ship Scotia Prince which
can ferry 1,200 passengers. The ship is already in Egypt and
readying to sail to Benghazi, the second largest city of
Libya, which will be the initial focus of the evacuation
operations," the MEA said.
There are about 18,000 Indians in that country with
majority of them living in Tripoli which is one of the
worst-affected cities due to the protests.
Indian companies, many of which are based in Libya for
decades, have also offered to work with the Indian Embassy in
Tripoli in facilitating evacuation. PTI
