Are you an Indian in a Gulf nation? Here's list of Indian government emergency contacts

Amid rising tension in the Middle East, the Indian government has issued helpline numbers for citizens outside the nation. In a recent statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said, “India is deeply concerned at the recent developments in Iran and the Gulf region.”

India has urged all sides to exercise restraint, avoid escalation, and prioritise the safety of civilians. “Dialogue and diplomacy should be pursued to de-escalate tensions and address underlying issues. Sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected,” it added.

The ministry highlighted that their missions in the region are in touch with Indian nationals and have issued appropriate advisories asking them to remain vigilant, stay in contact with the missions, and follow local security guidance.

After Iran declared the death of its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, the country began targeting its neighbours. United Arab Emirates (UAE) President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan slammed the nation for targeting its neighbours with missiles. The President asked Iran to act accordingly, reinforcing the idea that Tehran is not at war with neighbours like the UAE.
