Mumbai, March 2: The ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States has significantly impacted Gulf countries, leaving many citizens from Maharashtra stranded in Dubai. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has initiated efforts to provide maximum assistance to these individuals.
Citizens from various regions, including Thane, Murbad, Pune, and Ahilyanagar, have reached out to Deputy CM Shinde for help.

Deputy CM Shinde communicated with these students through Dr. Sanjeev Paithankar and Somnath Patil from the Brihanmumbai Board, assuring them of support. He emphasized that he stands firmly with them during these challenging times and will make every effort to bring them back safely to Maharashtra.
