Andhra Pradesh Coordinates Support for Telugu Expats Stranded in Gulf Amid West Asia Conflict

Amid escalating tensions in West Asia, the Andhra Pradesh government and the Andhra Pradesh Non-Resident Telugu Society (APNRTS) are coordinating efforts to assist around one million Telugu expatriates stranded in Gulf countries. With airports in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha temporarily closed, APNRTS advises stranded individuals to travel to Muscat for repatriation flights to India. The state has established 24/7 helplines and deployed coordinators across the Gulf to provide accommodation, transport, and emergency support. Officials urge expatriates to stay safe and await flight resumptions, while closely monitoring developments in coordination with the Indian government.
