The embassy advisory about not falling for fake news is crucial. So much panic spreads on WhatsApp groups. People should only trust official sources.

It's a responsible step, but I hope the "schedule adjustments" don't mean last-minute cancellations without proper compensation. Airlines need to be clear about refunds or rebooking if flights are affected.

Glad to see Dubai is functioning normally. So many Indians work there and have families back home who worry. The situation seems contained for now, but vigilance is key.

This affects so many Indian travelers and the huge diaspora in the UAE. Good that both the airline and embassy are on top of it. Jai Hind.
