Iran, Mar 03: Amid the ongoing escalation and continuous airstrikes, with Tehran being among the worst-affected cities, the Embassy of India in Tehran has initiated the relocation of Indian students to safer locations as a precautionary measure in view of the deteriorating security situation, Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA)said in a statement.
Students currently in Tehran have been shifted to the city of Qom in buses arranged by the Embassy. They are currently en route to Qom under the supervision and coordination of Indian authorities, the statement said.
“We have been able to communicate with the students and can confirm that all Indian students in Tehran, including those from Kashmir, are safe. The Indian Embassy and MEA are closely coordinating these efforts.” JKSA said
The evacuation process is expected to take place in next couple of days, subject to the resumption of airspace operations and the evolving ground situation, it added.
