Telugu Desam Party Steps In to Support Telugus Stranded in the Gulf* *NRI TDP Cell Launches Immediate Relief Measures; Situation Under Continuous Review* *National Chief and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu Personally Monitoring Developments* _*-Palla Srinivasa Rao*_

Amaravati, March 2:*Amid evolving developments in several Gulf countries, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has initiated coordinated measures to assist Telugu-speaking individuals facing distress abroad, the party’s State president, Palla Srinivasa Rao, said on Monday.

He affirmed that the government and the party apparatus stand firmly behind every Telugu citizen overseas, particularly in moments of uncertainty. Over the past four days, the NRI TDP Cell, operating from the party’s central office, has been closely tracking the situation through daily teleconferences with coordinators across Gulf nations. Immediate response mechanisms have been activated in areas requiring urgent intervention.

According to Mr. Srinivasa. Rao, local NRI TDP volunteers have been mobilised to extend on-ground support, including arranging temporary accommodation, food supplies and essential safety measures wherever necessary. The relief effort, he noted, is being calibrated in real time, with feedback loops ensuring that no distress call goes unanswered.

A comprehensive status report is being submitted to the party’s national president and Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu. The Chief Minister, Mr. Rao said, is personally overseeing the developments and issuing directives to ensure swift and structured action. Coordination is also under way with the Ministry of External Affairs to facilitate necessary diplomatic engagement and to avert any loss of life while expediting assistance to those affected.

In addition, the party has established a 24/7 helpline at its central office to respond to emergencies. Individuals requiring assistance may reach out via helpline or WhatsApp at *95500 57623* and *79978 26882* and share relevant details for prompt support.

Reiterating the party’s commitment, Mr. Rao emphasised that geographic distance would not dilute institutional responsibility. “Wherever they may be, every Telugu person can count on our support,” he said, adding that responsive leadership during times of crisis reinforces public confidence in governance.
