India and the United Arab Emirates are working on a proposed agreement to help evacuate Indian workers from the UAE through Fujairah, sources cited by multiple outlets say. The discussions are framed around disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which have affected travel arrangements and left some Indian workers stranded. The pact is intended to provide a maritime route that can be used if air travel is interrupted. One report says the agreement is being finalized and could be signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming stopover in the UAE. Another account describes Fujairah as a key access point for evacuation planning, noting the scale of India’s workforce in the UAE. Overall, both sources present the measure as contingency planning by the two governments to reduce the impact of travel disruptions and ensure an evacuation mechanism is in place if conditions deteriorate. No details of the operational procedures, timelines, or whether the agreement is already signed are provided in the reports.
