Indians in Qatar have been advised by the Indian Embassy to stay alert and contact their travel agents for modifications in travel plans.
The advisory came in the wake of several Gulf nations cutting off diplomatic ties with Qatar earlier this week. In its advisory issued on Wednesday, the embassy said that airlines concerned have reportedly offered refunds for cancelled flights following disruptions in air operations.
"Indian travellers are, therefore, requested to contact their travel providers for advice on modifications to their travel arrangements and also remain alert to further developments," the advisory stated."The Embassy of India is monitoring the situation closely and is in touch with Qatari authorities to ensure the safety and security of Indian nationals in Qatar," it said.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt cut their diplomatic ties with Qatar.
