It's heartening to see such strong leadership and community resolve. The UAE is home to so many Indians, and their safety and progress matter to us. This unity is what makes the country a second home for millions of expatriates.

While the show of unity is impressive, I hope the focus on security doesn't come at the cost of individual freedoms. A strong society balances both safety and liberty. Just a thought from a global perspective.

The presence of all the top leadership sends a strong signal. In India, we also understand the pain of terrorist attacks. Standing together is the only answer. Jai Hind, and strength to the UAE.

Remembering the heroes and the resilience of the community is so important. The article mentions the "first line of defence" being the people themselves – that's a powerful concept for any nation.

As someone with family working in Dubai, this news is reassuring. The UAE's stability is crucial for the Indian diaspora and our bilateral ties. More power to the leadership and people there. 🙏
