— More than 500 Indian nationals stranded in Qatar due to regional tensions were evacuated on special flights arranged with assistance from Indian diplomatic missions.
The evacuation operation was coordinated by the Indian embassy and local authorities, allowing stranded citizens to travel back to India safely.
Officials said the flights were organized after disruptions in travel routes and heightened security concerns across parts of the Middle East.
Indian diplomatic missions in Gulf countries have been monitoring the situation closely and issuing advisories to citizens regarding safety measures and travel precautions.
The evacuation underscores the vulnerability of large expatriate communities during geopolitical crises. Millions of Indians live and work across the Gulf region, making them one of the largest migrant populations there.
India’s government has previously conducted large scale evacuation operations during conflicts or emergencies in the Middle East.
Officials say ensuring the safety of Indian citizens abroad remains a priority, particularly during periods of regional instability.
