External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, known for keeping in touch with people over Twitter, had everyone in splits when she said she will need to consult a volcano in Indonesia in response to an Indian's query asking if the government has any advisory for tourists visiting the Southeast Asian nation. "I will have to consult the volcano there," Sushma Swaraj said late on Wednesday night in response to a tweet by one Sushil Rai.

In his tweet, Rai said: "is it safe to travel bali (sic). We have a bali (sic) trip on 11.08.18 to 17.08.18. Is it safe? Is their (a)ny advisory has been issued by our govt. Kindly guide us soon." Mount Agung in Indonesia's Bali island, a popular tourist destination for Indians, erupted on July 3.
