Thane: Actor Vishakha Subhedar and her son Abhinay, met Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at his residence, on Sunday, and expressed their gratitude for facilitating Abhinay’s safe return from Kuwait. “The assistance extended to stranded residents was part of my responsibility to support citizens from Maharashtra who were in distress, whether in India or overseas,” Shinde said. Shinde and Shiv Sena functionaries took initiatives to assist 164 Indians stranded in Dubai to return safely amid tensions in the Gulf. Shinde also intervened to assist citizens from Maharashtra stranded in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir following a terror attack there last year.
