‘Don’t go out for photos, videos': Indian embassy's advisory to nationals in UAE amid Iran war

In light of the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, the Indian embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has issued a cautionary advisory to its nationals. The embassy specifically urged Indian citizens to refrain from taking photographs or videos in public spaces, particularly around incident sites or airports. This warning follows a notification from UAE authorities indicating that stringent measures would be enforced against those caught filming without authorization. The advisory highlights the importance of adhering to local laws and regulations, especially during sensitive situations. The Indian community in the UAE is one of the largest expatriate populations, making such advisories crucial for their safety and compliance with local norms. As tensions escalate in the region, the embassy continues to monitor developments closely while emphasizing the need for vigilance and discretion among its nationals living abroad.
