'No panic situation': Passengers return from UAE amid the West Asian conflict

Indian nationals arriving from UAE report controlled situation with government support, despite disturbing sounds of conflict. Airlines adjust schedules.

"There is not that much panic situation in the UAE as of now because everything is under control under their government. - Passenger from Fujairah"

Kochi, March 4

Indian nationals arrived at Cochin International Airport on Wednesday, sharing that there is not a panic situation thanks to their government's support, amid the heightened tensions due to the volatile West Asian conflict.

A passenger from Fujairah said, "I am coming from Fujairah, as from Dubai there was no flight... The situation in the UAE is under control."

"There is not that much panic situation in the UAE as of now because everything is under control under their government," he added.

Another passenger who arrived from Abu Dhabi recalled that the firing sound was disturbing, but noted that there is not a panic situation.

"Everybody is going to work... The government is supporting a lot. This is not a panic situation, but at night, because of the firing sound, it is disturbing," he stated.

Passengers arriving at Delhi's IGI Airport from Dubai also shared their accounts in the UAE, noting that while administrative measures were effective, the sound of explosives had created a sense of unease.

A passenger, who arrived at IGI Airport from Dubai, while speaking to ANI, said, "I was in Dubai for three days, so there were problems at some places, but the administration there managed everything well. Sounds of explosives were coming from some places, but there was not much problem."

The airlines are severely affected by the ongoing West-East conflict, as many of the leading airlines have announced schedule changes, suspensions, and additional services to mitigate passenger inconvenience and maintain connectivity.

The conflict in the Middle East has entered its fourth day following the US and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, along with other key figures in the Persian Gulf country. In retaliation, Tehran has responded with counter-strikes targeting American military bases and other Israeli assets across the region.

My cousin is in Dubai and he said the same. Normal life is going on but the distant sounds are definitely scary. Glad the UAE govt is handling it well and flights are available for those who want to come back.

While I appreciate the government's efforts, calling it "no panic situation" feels a bit downplayed. Explosive sounds at night is a serious concern. We should be prepared for any escalation and have more contingency plans ready.

The resilience of the Indian diaspora is always commendable. Working through such tension shows real strength. Hope the airlines sort out the schedules quickly for everyone's sake.

This is why having a strong passport and a government that looks out for you matters. Many countries wouldn't be this proactive. Feeling proud and grateful today.

Prayers for everyone's safety in the region. So many Indian families have loved ones working in the Gulf. The news of controlled situation is a big sigh of relief for all of us here.
