While the intent is good, I hope the execution matches the promise. Evacuations from active conflict zones are incredibly complex. The MEA has done well in the past, but transparency on the timeline and process would help ease families' anxiety.

Good to see Odisha CM is personally involved for people from the state. Many from our coastal districts work in the Gulf. Their families must be so worried. Bring them home safely, government. 🙏

"Not a single person will be left behind" – this is the kind of commitment we need. Remember the Yemen evacuation? Our forces did a brilliant job. Faith in our system. #Modi #IndianDiaspora

The situation sounds very dangerous. My uncle is in Dubai and we are constantly checking news. Please government, act fast and keep families updated directly, not just through media statements.

Respectfully, the article jumps from evacuation plans to reporting the death of Iran's Supreme Leader. These are two separate major events. The focus should remain on the safe return of citizens. Hope the logistics are in place.
