The Government of India has issued emergency helpline numbers for Indian citizens living in several Gulf and West Asian countries following rising tensions in the region due to the ongoing Iran–Israel conflict. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said Indian embassies have been instructed to remain in constant contact with nationals and provide assistance wherever require.

Authorities have also set up a special control room in New Delhi to coordinate assistance, share updates and respond to queries from Indian nationals and their families. Citizens have been advised to remain vigilant, follow local security guidelines and stay in touch with the nearest Indian diplomatic mission. 

 

Emergency contact numbers have been released for several countries including Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The embassies in these countries are providing round-the-clock assistance and monitoring the situation closely. 

Officials also said the embassy in Tehran has relocated many Indian students to safer areas and arranged transportation, accommodation and food for those affected by the conflict.
