After Modi wrote to the PM seeking Centre's immediate action to ensure safety of Gujaratis living in the strife-torn country, Singh replied assuring him that his government was working in this direction.
 
"I have asked the Ministry of External Affairs to take immediate action," the PM said, adding that the Indian High Commission there was already in touch with the Indian community.
