Odisha and Indian Government Coordinate Evacuation of Citizens from West Asia Conflict Zone

The Odisha government and Indian authorities are actively working to evacuate Odia citizens stranded in the escalating West Asia conflict zone. Odisha Minister Prithviraj Harichandan and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik have urged the central government to ensure safe evacuation amid disrupted air connectivity. A dedicated Odisha working group has been formed to monitor the situation and coordinate with stranded individuals. The conflict intensified after US-Israel strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader, leading to regional military escalations and flight disruptions.
