In separate messages, the Saudi leaders expressed their deep sorrow over the tragic loss of over 300 lives in the disaster, which has also left nearly 200 people missing.
King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed conveyed their hopes for the safe return of the missing individuals and wished a swift recovery to those injured. They also sent their condolences to the bereaved families and the Indian people, reflecting the solidarity of Saudi Arabia with India during this difficult time.
