Jai Hind! It's reassuring to see the high-level talks between PM Modi and the UAE President. Shows our diplomatic strength. Hope flights resume soon, my parents are stuck there.

The advice on avoiding rumours is spot on. WhatsApp groups are already flooded with fake news. Everyone should stick to official channels only.

While the support message is good, I hope the actual on-ground assistance is as prompt. Sometimes there's a gap between assurances and action. Fingers crossed for all our people there.

Good move postponing the CBSE exams. Students' safety comes first. The UAE has always been a safe haven for Indians, and with our government's support, I'm confident things will stabilise.

"We are with you. Jai Hind." – This line actually brought tears. Feels like the motherland is watching over its children abroad. Stay safe everyone!
