Don't want to miss the best from Business Standard?

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday said the Indian Government is trying its best to locate Infosys employee Raghavendra Ganeshan, who has been missing after the attacks in Belgium.

"We are doing our best to locate Raghavendran Ganesh," she tweeted.

Swaraj, who has been assuring the people of all help in Brussels, in a series of tweets said: "The airport is still not open. This may take some time. We are coordinating with @jetairways on alternate plans to evacuate our citizen."

Swaraj also tweeted that the two crew members of Jet Airways injured in the explosions at the Brussels airport are recovering well.

"I have just spoken to Manjeev Puri our Ambassador in Brussels. He has informed me that Nidhi and Amit are both recovering well," she tweeted.

Meanwhile, Infosys in a statement said that the company reached out to all its employees in the city to ascertain their whereabouts and safety following the attacks in Brussels.

"With the exception of one employee who we are trying to reach, we have been able to connect with all other employees. We are in touch with the missing employee's family and are working with the Indian Embassy and local authorities in Brussels to locate our employee on priority," the statement said.

The Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for the attacks in Brussels and warned that more would follow.
