Kerala CM urges PM Modi to protect Keralites in Gulf amid Iran strikes and evacuation concerns.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has urged Prime Minister Modi to protect Indian nationals, particularly Keralites in the Gulf, as regional tensions rise following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. He requested evacuation plans, noted rising anxiety among families, and activated helplines through the NORKA department to assist with travel disruptions and security concerns. The conflict, which includes missile and drone attacks across the Middle East, has disrupted flights and forced airspace closures, with Indian citizens advised to follow embassy instructions.
