Indian businessman offers free shelter, pickup to travellers stranded in UAE
India Today
An Indian businessman in the UAE has offered free accommodation in Ajman along with pickups by Rolls-Royce cars for stranded passengers amid the West Asia crisis.
With flight cancellations across the UAE following the onset of US-Israel-Iran crisis on February 28, many travellers found themselves unable to leave the United Arab Emirates. In response to the sudden travel disruption, Dr. Dhiraj Jain, a Rajasthan-born businessman and head of 1XL Holdings, offered immediate assistance by opening his 11-bedroom holiday home in Ajman to those in need.
Jain offered his 11-bedroom holiday home in Ajman to anyone stranded and in need of shelter. The gesture quickly gathered attention, especially after the message was picked up and circulated by the Consulate General of India, Dubai, which shared the information with travellers unable to return home.
