New Delhi, May 4 (PTI) India today lifted the ban on the grant of emigration clearance to Iraq to facilitate travel by its nationals to that country but asked them to exercise "due care and caution" about their personal security. "The government of India has decided, in order to facilitate travel by Indian nationals to Iraq on work and/or for visits, not to extend the ban on the grant of emigration clearance, which had been issued under Section 31(1) of the Emigration Act 1983," an External Affairs Ministry release said. At the same time, Indian nationals are advised to exercise due care and caution about their personal safety and security when working in or visiting Iraq, it said. In 2003, India had warned its citizens not to travel to the oil-rich Gulf country months after the US invasion of Iraq.
