That apart, Pasi Diwan who is also from Telangana is stranded in Erbil, he added.
Giving details of the 17 persons to the Consulate General of India at Erbil, the State government requested it to take necessary steps to repatriate them to India as early as possible.
Besides, the Minister of External and Overseas Indian Affairs is also requested to take up the matter with the Consulate General of India at Erbil for the early repatriation of the stranded people.
