Thousands of Indians in the Gulf are seeking help as the conflict in the Middle East shuts airspace and sparks fear. Workers, students and tourists have posted appeals online. “I came here for a livelihood, but I am now seeking bomb shelter,” a worker in Dubai said. Indian students in Tehran said missiles are “raining here” and asked for quick evacuation. The Ministry of External Affairs has issued emergency helpline numbers and said it is closely monitoring the situation. Indian missions are in touch with citizens and advising them to stay indoors. No evacuation plan has been announced yet due to closed airspace. (PC: India Today)
