My cousin is in Dubai and his family in Hyderabad was very worried. They called this number and got clear guidance on how to connect with the embassy. A big relief for the families back home. Thank you for the timely action.

Good initiative, but 200+ enquiries is a serious number. It shows how many of our Telugu people are stuck and anxious. Hope the MEA and state govt work seamlessly. The real test is getting people home safely, not just setting up helplines.

The Middle East situation is always volatile. While I appreciate the help, we need a long-term policy for migrant worker safety. They build our economy and foreign reserves. Shashank Goel sir, please ensure the support is effective on the ground.

It's heartening to see officials like the Consul General personally visiting the airport. These small gestures mean a lot when you're stranded far from home. Hope all states show this kind of responsibility for their citizens abroad.

As someone who has worked in the region, I know how stressful travel disruptions can be. Having a dedicated point of contact from your home state makes a world of difference. Well done on the coordination.
