The safety, security, and well-being of Indian people in the Gulf and West Asia have been given top priority by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), which has stepped up its surveillance of the changing circumstances in these regions. "Indian Missions and Posts continue to operate round-the-clock helplines and are proactively assisting Indian nationals," the statement reads. "Indian missions are maintaining round-the-clock contact with citizens while coordinating closely with local authorities to address emerging challenges." The ministry emphasised its continuous outreach by stating, "They remain in close contact with the local Governments."

To keep the public informed, the administration has also been releasing regular updates. "Updated advisories are being issued regularly, including information on local government guidelines, flight and travel situations and consular services and various welfare measures being undertaken to support our community," the statement said. To guarantee the prompt distribution of information and support, missions are regularly interacting with Indian associations, professional groups, businesses, and other stakeholders.
The government is placing a high importance on the wellbeing of Indian seafarers operating in the area. "The wellbeing of Indian seafarers in the area is given top importance by the government.According to the government, "Indian missions are providing all assistance to Indian crew members on vessels in the region, including coordination with local authorities and agencies, extending consular assistance, and facilitating requests to return to India."

Despite operational limitations, travel between the region and India has continued to be significant. Approximately 12,96,000 passengers have journeyed from the area to India since February 28, indicating consistent demand and connectivity. Due to operational and safety concerns, airlines in the United Arab Emirates are continuing to conduct limited commercial operations. Approximately 110 flights are anticipated to travel between the UAE and India in a single day.

Additionally, there are still flights from Saudi Arabia and Oman to Indian locations, and Qatar Airways has been able to restart service to some Indian towns due to the partial reopening of Qatar's airspace. Jazeera Airways, Kuwait Airways, and Gulf Air have resumed limited operations, and Bahrain and Kuwait have also reopened their airspace.

In other areas, Iran's airspace is still partially available for cargo and charter planes, while Iraq's airspace is open with limited services that can enable further travel. The MEA has reaffirmed its recommendation that Indian people stay away from Iran and that those who are currently there leave through land borders with assistance from the embassy. Thus far, 2,445 Indian nationals have been able to leave Iran by land thanks to the Indian Embassy in Tehran.

Limited flight operations have resumed in Israel, providing more choices for travel to India. The MEA stated that it will keep a careful eye on events and increase aid if needed.
