No Evacuation Planned For Indians In UAE, India Says As It Flags 'Fake News'

The clarification came after a report claimed that India and the UAE were working on an agreement to help evacuate Indian workers through the port of Fujairah. The report also claimed that such an arrangement could be useful in case air traffic was affected.

The MEA FactCheck account shared screenshots of the report, marking them as fake.

The warning comes amid heightened regional tensions, when unverified claims about travel, safety and evacuation plans can spread quickly online.

Authorities have repeatedly urged residents and social media users to rely only on official sources for updates and avoid circulating unverified information.
