Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Saharsa (Bihar), March 2 (NationPress) Concern has enveloped two families in Saharsa district, Bihar, as their sons, Amit Kumar Chauhan and Keshav Kumar, remain in Doha, Qatar, alongside their families amidst the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran in the Middle East.
Their parents express deep worry since the onset of the conflict, fearing for the well-being of their children and grandchildren overseas.
One family member made a heartfelt plea for his son's safe return to India.
“I sincerely urge that my son be brought back safely by any means. The entire family — son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter — is there. We had our last conversation just last night,” she stated.
Another parent voiced his apprehension, revealing that his son has been residing in Doha for two years, employed by Qatar Airways.
“Upon hearing about the war, we felt a rush of fear — we are uncertain about what lies ahead. Our only desire is for his safety. Whether he remains there unscathed or returns to India safely is all we hope for,” he expressed.
He mentioned that during their latest conversation, his son reassured them about his safety. “He informed us that he is safe. Work has been paused, and he is currently staying at home securely,” the parent added.
The heightened tensions in the region have amplified worries among multiple families in Saharsa whose children are either studying or working abroad. Parents are vigilantly tracking updates and maintaining constant communication with their loved ones while implementing all necessary precautions.
For the time being, families in Saharsa endure a state of anxious waiting, cherishing brief phone calls and comforting messages from thousands of kilometers away. As tensions linger, their sole prayer is for the safe return — or continued safety — of their children and grandchildren ensnared in a conflict-ridden region.
