Amaravati, March 02, 2026: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu reviewed the plight of Telugu people stranded in Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE, where flight cancellations and airport restrictions stem from the ongoing conflict in West Asia involving Israel, the US, and Iran.

At his camp office, he directed RTGS officials and Andhra Pradesh Non-Resident Telugu Society (APNRT) representatives to maintain close ties with the central government, Indian embassies, and local coordinators.

Measures include a 24/7 helpline (0863-2340678), WhatsApp support (85000 27678), and email channels for real-time assistance, plus arrangements for temporary shelter. Naidu urged those affected to stay calm, seek safe spots, and avoid panic while airports reopen.
