TDP MLA Mohammed Naseer Ahmed has urged people planning to travel to Saudi Arabia to exercise caution and consider delaying their journeys for one to one-and-a-half months. His appeal followed his statement that Yaqoob Ali Sahab of Hyderabad, Telangana, had passed away after a recent incident at Riyadh International Airport.
Ahmed made the remarks from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, while expressing condolences to Yaqoob's family. He described the death as a tragic loss and offered his deepest sympathies to the bereaved relatives.
Travel caution appeal
The MLA said travellers should assess the current situation before proceeding with plans to visit Saudi Arabia. He specifically referred to Riyadh, Jeddah and other locations when urging people to remain cautious.
Ahmed also said there were no major issues in Mecca and Medina. His comments therefore distinguished those 2 cities from Riyadh, Jeddah and other destinations mentioned in his appeal.
The travel guidance was framed as a request rather than an announcement of a formal travel restriction. Ahmed said poning travel plans or journeys for one to one-and-a-half months would be better for everyone planning to visit the country.
