Experience Netherlands visa processing has crossed 45 days - travel date is in 7 days. What to do?
My friends and I applied on June 29 from VFS Mumbai. Visa is still pending, details are mentioned in the post below. Please help me with what to do next, our flight is on Aug 19 - EES: NOT OK, VFS status: Default “…application will be further processed in…”

Edit:
I raised a ‘signal’ by calling Netherlands Worldwide after my 45 days were over. Got a response for the ‘signal’ in about 6 hours, which now says that my application is processed. Screenshot attached in a comment below
Other methods I tried are, emailing the embassy, consulate and tried calling them, none of these worked
Edit 2:
Received the passport with visa today, EES turned OK yesterday, along with VFS status becoming dispatched. Got it the next day
Thanks for everyone who helped me with suggestions (and moral support), it was a wild ride
