New Delhi: Telangana sets up helpline for Indians in Iran-Israel conflict regions

New Delhi: Amid rising geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel, the Telangana Government has established a dedicated helpline at Telangana Bhavan in New Delhi to assist citizens from the State who may be living, working or travelling in the affected regions.

Although no Telangana residents have been reported as affected so far, the initiative has been launched as a precautionary measure to ensure timely assistance in case of any escalation.

The move comes in response to advisories and inputs received from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and Indian embassies in the conflict zones.

Acting on the instructions of chief minister A Revanth Reddy, officials at Telangana Bhavan are maintaining close coordination with the MEA and diplomatic missions in both Iran and Israel.

The government has assured that all necessary measures are in place to support and safeguard the interests of Telangana nationals abroad.

Four senior officials have been designated as helpline contacts for those seeking support:

Vandana, PS, resident commissioner – +91 9871999044

G Rakshit Naik, liaison officer – +91 9643723157

Javed Hussain, liaison officer – +91 9910014749

Ch Chakravarthi, public relations officer – +91 9949351270

The Telangana government has urged its citizens in the affected areas to remain vigilant and to reach out to the helpline for any assistance.
