Amidst the Iran-Israel tension, Indian TV channels showed news of missile attack on Burj Khalifa, spreading panic among the families living in India. But two Indian youth living in Dubai released the video and made it clear that the whole situation is normal and the channels are showing the old videos live. One young man told that he received 150 calls from India while another stood right in front of Burj Khalifa and said, ‘There is no need to panic, taxis are running here, people are roaming around normally.’
First the young man said in his video, ‘Friends, today was Sunday, I was sleeping comfortably. Then 150 calls started coming from India. Many private channels of India showed flames of fire in their thumbnails by writing ‘Iran’s missile attack, Burj Khalifa on target’. 5000 people were watching live. My family, friends and even mother-in-law called, son, are you okay? Bombs are falling there. I went to have tea in the morning, then went to the liquor shop, everything was normal. No fear. These people are playing old videos.
He also warned the channels, ‘Those working here have families in India, are elderly and heart patients. If something happens to them because of them, who will take responsibility? Show the truth.
He told that 24 hours ago there was an attack on the outer military base of Abu Dhabi, which is now over, but Burj Khalifa is completely safe.
Made a video while standing in front of Burj Khalifa
Another young man made a video standing in front of Burj Khalifa. He said, ‘Hello friends, I am right now right in front of Burj Khalifa. Emaar Towers and Dubai Mall are clearly visible behind. No panic here. Yes, the airfield was closed for some time, but will open in the next day or two. The UAE government will take strict action against those spreading rumors on social media. Today is a completely normal day.
These videos are in Telugu and Hindi languages ​​and are becoming increasingly viral. In the last two days, 48 ​​flights have been canceled at Hyderabad Airport due to Middle East tension. Many Telugu families were worried. These videos have given relief. The youth said that the channels should take care of the sentiments of the families.
Thousands of Indians living in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are currently working. These videos have once again raised questions on the responsibility of the media. Both the youth have appealed that people should trust only true news and avoid rumours. At present, life in Dubai is completely back on track and Burj Khalifa is standing safely in its place.
