Another special Air India flight will leave tomorrow for Djerba in Tunisia to bring back 216 Indian nationals, who have crossed over there from strife-torn Libya.

With the fresh batch of 216, the total number of Indians who would have come back from Libya by this weekend would be about 1,500, leaving 3000 registered Indian nationals still in the conflict-hit country, the
spokesperson in the external affairs ministry said.

Out of 1,500 Indians, private companies facilitated departure of 450 Indian workers employed with them.
