The war in the Middle East has led to massive disruption in flight services in the region, due to which many passengers including Indians are stranded in the United Arab Emirates. To help, Dr. Dheeraj Jain, an Indian businessman living in UAE, has opened his farmhouse in Ajman, just a few kilometers away from Dubai, to accommodate troubled travelers stranded in the country.
Let us tell you that due to the attack by Iran and repeated closure of airspace in the country, many passengers could not return home. Those who could not afford hotels were offered accommodation in an 80,000 square feet farmhouse.
Who is Dr. Dheeraj Jain?
Dr. Dheeraj Jain, Chairman, 1XL Holdings, also arranged pickup for those distressed passengers from different hotels and other places. They used 11 cars for these pickups, which reportedly included six Rolls-Royce cars. Dr. Jain started this initiative around February 28, when Israel and the US launched their attack against Iran. Iran’s retaliatory attacks led to a large-scale war in the Middle East, stranding many tourists in the Gulf.

Meanwhile, in a significant development, Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was declared the new Supreme Leader of Iran. This comes amid rising tensions in West Asia, after a US-Israel joint military strike on Iranian territory on February 28 killed Khamenei and other senior figures, prompting a strong response from Tehran. In return, Iran launched a series of drone and missile attacks on several Arab countries.
Now on its 10th day, the loss of life and property in this fighting is continuously increasing in Iran. The level of devastation is increasing. Official figures show more than 1,300 people have been killed since the violence began.
