Amid ongoing travel disruptions in parts of the Middle East, the Karnataka government has activated dedicated 24/7 helpline numbers to support Kannadigas currently stranded in Dubai and Bahrain. With international airspace closures impacting flights and leaving residents unable to return home, the State Emergency Operations Centre has begun coordinating closely with Indian embassies, consulates, and central government agencies to provide timely assistance. Authorities have advised those affected to stay calm, follow local travel advisories, and use the helpline for real-time updates and support procedures.
Government officials have emphasized that no one should feel isolated during this crisis and that emergency operations remain active around the clock to respond to calls from Kannada citizens abroad. The helpline numbers are designed to help stranded individuals communicate their situations to state and central authorities, facilitating access to diplomatic channels, local services, and rescue coordination where necessary. As the situation evolves, residents from Karnataka in the UAE, Bahrain, and other affected Gulf nations are urged to register on official portals and avail themselves of the assistance being offered.
