Roads were shut and stern warnings were issued as the country experienced extreme weather conditions
Athira Geetha Sreedharan from Kozhikode district in Kerala said she wanted to return home to deliver her first baby, due on the first week of July.
"I must thank the Consulate General of India. Consul General Vipul himself made this happen, and we got a call from Air India providing details of our tickets," said Sreedharan.
"More than a decision from the Apex Court, our act raised a lot of awareness into the situation being faced by couples such as ourselves here in the UAE. There are so many pregnant families who are here on visit visa and don't have medical insurance, or husbands have lost their jobs," he added.
Sreedharan cited his work in the construction industry as one of the primary reasons for the family taking this decision. "I am always exposed to several thousand people per day. We were worried about putting her (Athira) and the baby's life at risk," said Sreedharan.
