India expands citizen safety operations in West Asia

What happened:

 On April 14, India launched a major diplomatic and logistical operation amid escalating West Asia tensions. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar coordinated with counterparts in Kuwait, Israel, Singapore, and Australia to manage the situation and support Indian nationals abroad.

Why it matters:

 The move underscores India’s ongoing large-scale evacuation and consular response effort, with nearly one million citizens already brought back since late February and continued focus on safe travel and emergency assistance in the region.
