The situation in West Asia has become tense after the joint attack by America and Israel on Iran. Meanwhile, Congress Lok Sabha MP from Jalna, Maharashtra, Kalyan Kale is stuck in Dubai. Due to closure of airfields and cancellation of flights, they are currently unable to return. However, the family has clarified that they are completely safe and there is no need to panic.
MP’s brother Jagannath Kale gave this information on Monday (2 March). He told that Kalyan Kale had gone to Dubai with some friends on Friday (27 February). His plan was to return to India via Abu Dhabi on March 3. But after the attack on Iran, many countries closed their airspace, due to which flights were canceled and they got stuck there.
Jagannath Kale told that he is safe. We have given their information to the Indian Embassy located there. They will return as soon as flights resume or after receiving instructions from the government.

Contact with administration and embassy
Information has been given to the administration of the districts of Marathwada where people are stranded. The district administration is in touch with the Indian Embassy, so that help can be provided if needed. Here the administration is also on alert in Thane and Palghar districts.
Thane Collector Shri Krishna Panchal and Palghar Collector Indu Rani Jakhar have appealed that people whose relatives are stranded in Gulf countries should contact the District Disaster Management Center and give complete information. This will make it easier to maintain coordination with embassies.
Safe for now, waiting for flights
Both the family and the administration say that everyone is safe at the moment. Now everyone’s eyes are on when air services will be restored. As soon as the airspace opens again, the stranded people will be able to return to India. Till then the situation is being continuously monitored by the government and the embassy.
Tension increased after attack on Iran
Let us tell you that after the joint attack on Iran by America and Israel, the situation deteriorated rapidly. The news of the death of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has also come to light in this attack. In response, Iran attacked American bases in the Gulf countries. Due to security reasons, many countries closed their airspace, due to which international flights have been badly affected.
