As geopolitical friction intensifies in the Gulf, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has appealed to Telugu residents in Iran and neighboring countries to stay on high alert. The advisory, issued from Hyderabad, stresses immediate compliance with all safety measures amid brewing conflicts.
Reddy advised following embassy bulletins to the letter and maintaining preparedness for any developments. The state is actively overseeing the status of its diaspora, with instructions to officials for proactive engagement with central authorities and diplomatic outposts.
In emergencies, coordinated repatriation efforts will be launched without delay, the CM assured. This comes as governments brace for potential escalations following recent military actions in the region.
Parallelly, Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker Ayyanna Patrudu has inquired into the safety of roughly 50,000 Telugu workers in Bahrain, a key destination for migrants from his Anakapalli district’s Narsipatnam area. Post Iran’s attack on a US facility, worries have mounted.
Patrudu held talks with community members, urging them to stay put in safe havens, monitor local advisories, and remain vigilant. Backing from APNRTS is guaranteed, and he vowed to coordinate with Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu for airlifts if circumstances demand.
The proactive stances by both leaders highlight the vulnerability of Indian workers abroad and the robust support systems in place. Telugu families back home await updates, hoping for de-escalation and the safe return of their loved ones.
