J-K students evacuated from Iran flag poor bus conditions during journey back home; CM Omar Abdullah responds; promises deluxe coaches
NEW DELHI:
Jammu and Kashmir
chief minister
Omar Abdullah
has assured students evacuated from Iran that deluxe buses will be arranged for their travel from Delhi to J&K following complaints about the poor quality of buses initially provided.
Around 110 Indian nationals, including 90 students from Jammu and Kashmir, were evacuated from conflict-affected Iran on Wednesday. The group was first taken to Armenia, then flown to Doha, before arriving in Delhi early on Thursday.
Several students expressed their gratitude to the Indian government for the evacuation, but criticised the buses arranged by the Jammu and Kashmir administration for the final leg of their journey.
Some described the transport as uncomfortable and ill-suited after days of travel.
In a post on social media platform X, the chief minister's office said: 'The Chief Minister has taken note of the request of the students evacuated from Iran regarding the quality of buses arranged to transport them from Delhi to J&K.'
The statement added that the Resident Commissioner had been tasked with coordinating with the Jammu & Kashmir Road Transport Corporation (JKRTC) to ensure 'proper deluxe buses' are provided.

The evacuation was carried out as part of India's broader efforts to bring back citizens stranded in Iran due to the escalating conflict.
