In some cases, students are being relocated with the Embassy's facilitation to safer places within Iran. Other feasible options are also under examination," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement. It comes hours after Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah spoke to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar regarding students from the Union Territory stuck in Iran. More than 1,500 Indian students, most of them from Jammu and Kashmir, are stranded in Iran. The parents have appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and S Jaishankar to intervene and facilitate the safe return of the Indian students. The majority of the students stranded in Tehran, Shiraz, and Qom cities of Iran are pursuing professional courses, primarily MBBS.
