Srinagar, June 21: The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) on Saturday said that over 700 Kashmiri students are still stranded in various parts of Iran, with efforts underway to ensure their safe relocation and evacuation.
JKSA National Convenor Nasir Khuehami told news agency JKNS that over 700 Kashmiri students are still stranded in various parts of Iran, the students are located in Tehran, Kerman, Gilan, Shiraz, Arak, and other areas, and are yet to be brought out of the crisis-hit zones.
“We are in constant touch with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the Indian Embassy in Tehran, and the J&K Chief Minister’s Office to ensure their safety and timely evacuation,” he said.
Khuehami added that efforts are being made to first move the students to safer locations before facilitating their evacuation via Mashhad and other designated border routes. “We want to assure the parents that all students are safe at present,” he said.
He further stated that two students who sustained injuries have been shifted to secure locations, and arrangements are being made for their evacuation within the next two days. “We remain committed to the well‑being of every stranded student and will continue to coordinate closely with the relevant authorities until each one is brought home safely,” Khuehami assured.
