shuttler PV Sindhu stranded in Dubai

Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu was on Saturday left stranded at Dubai airport en route to the prestigious All England Open badminton tournament, after flight operations were suspended owing to escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The tournament is scheduled to start from next Tuesday. Sindhu took to Instagram and posted a video showing a crowded airport with a caption: “All flights suspended until further notice.” Later, Sindhu said she was safe but stuck with her team. “It’s hard to process what’s unfolding right now. Hearing the interceptions overhead and seeing how quickly everything has escalated is honestly terrifying,” Sindhu wrote on ‘X’.
