Helpline to be set up for people of Karnataka stuck in West Asian countries: CM
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced the launch of a helpline for Kannadigas stranded in war-hit West Asian countries, including Israel, UAE, Iran, and Kuwait. Mr. Siddaramaiah assured families back home that the state government is prioritizing their safety and has instructed the Resident Commissioner in Delhi to make necessary arrangements. The situation has led to flight disruptions and stranded individuals like former Minister B. Nagendra's 32 constituents from Ballari in Dubai, and MLC S.L. Bhoje Gowda at Dubai airport. Air India and IndiGo have suspended flights to all destinations in the region due to escalating conflict.
