A group of senior citizens from Pune, set to embark on a European vacation, found themselves stranded at Dubai International Airport due to incessant rain and flooding in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its neighbouring countries.
'My parents slept on floor for 2 days at airport'

Among their worried family members was Poonam Deshpande, a fullstack developer, who tried her best to assist them, including airing their grievances on X (formerly Twitter), but there was very little she could do while sitting in Pune.

Speaking to The Free Press Deshpande Journal, described the ordeal. She said, "Six of my family members, including my parents and inlaws, had booked a Europe trip via Kesari Tours Pvt Ltd.

Their flight from Mumbai to Dubai was scheduled for 4:30am on April 17, with a connecting flight to London at 8:30am. However, delays began in Mumbai, and by the time they reached Dubai at 1:30pm, the connecting flight had departed."
