New Delhi: The government has removed from its blacklist names of 312 Sikh foreign nationals involved in anti-India activities and only two persons figure on the list now, a Home Ministry official said on Friday.

Those removed from the list are now eligible to avail visa services to visit family in India and reconnect with their roots.
