Good initiative. My cousin is in Dubai and we were worried. At least now we know who to call in Delhi if things get worse. Hope the MEA also has a strong evacuation plan ready.

While setting up a control room is good, I hope the actual response is swift. Sometimes these become just phone numbers that never get answered. The real test is during an actual crisis.

It's reassuring to see state governments stepping up like this. Coordination between state and central agencies is crucial for the safety of Indian citizens abroad. Well done.

The Gulf region is like a second home for so many Telugu people. This tension is scary for their families back home. CM Revanth Reddy's warning to stay vigilant was necessary. Hope everyone stays safe.

Sharing the direct contact numbers of officers is very helpful. Please, if you don't have a genuine emergency, don't block these lines. Let them be free for those who really need help.
