Indian missions in Gulf support ships, seafarers amid tensions

The Indian government is helping ships and sailors from India who are in the Gulf region.

The Gulf is an area where things have become tense and unsafe.

India has offices, called missions, in many Gulf countries.

These missions are ready to help Indian ships and sailors whenever they need support.

They stay in touch with the shipping ministry and local authorities all the time.

They also run phone helplines that work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

These helplines have been open for many months.

India is asking everyone to keep the sea routes safe and open for ships.

It also asks parties not to attack civilian things like ships and sailors.

This way, trade and travel can keep moving smoothly.
