IPF Lists Helpline Number for Assamese People Stuck in Dubai as War Escalates

What Is IPF?

Notably, the Indian People’s Forum (IPF) is a prominent, non-partisan community organisation operating across the seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates, dedicated to supporting the Indian diaspora. Serving as a bridge between Indian expatriates and official missions such as the Indian Embassy and Consulates, the forum plays a key role in community welfare by offering 24/7 emergency assistance, legal guidance and health awareness initiatives. 

Beyond crisis support, IPF actively promotes cultural cohesion by organising large-scale celebrations including Onam, Republic Day events and Kavi Sammelans, while also spearheading social initiatives such as medical camps, blood donation drives and professional development seminars. Structured through regional chapters and state councils to ensure grassroots outreach, the organisation maintains an active presence online through its official website, ipf-uae.org, and social media platforms.
