Amid worsening law and order situation in Sudan, the Indian Embassy on Tuesday issued another advisory for Indian nationals, asking them not to venture out and ration their supplies.

In a tweet, the embassy said, “We have come across many instances of looting. All Indian nationals are advised please not to venture out. Please ration your supplies. The situation may continue for a few more days. Please try to take help from your neighbours. Please stay at home and remain safe.”

Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, has witnessed fierce clashes between Sudan’s military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), also known as the paramilitary force, in recent days.
