Awaiting info about 50 Consular officers in Haiti: Krishna

India is awaiting information about its 50 Consular level officers in Haiti,which suffered the strongest earthquake in more than 200 years flattening almost all buildings in its capital Port-Au-Prince.

“Since we got the first information,we have been trying to establish contact with our Consulate there….. There are about 50 Consular level officers. We are awaiting information about them,” External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said here today.

Fate of over 200 Indians,including 140 police peacekeepers,is not known after the 7.3 magnitude earthquake rocked the country last night with its capital being the worst hit.
