SRINAGAR, MARCH 03 (STC): All India Medical Students Association (AIMSA) has today stated that Indian students stranded in Iran have been safely relocated from Tehran to Qom.
The movement of students was carried out in coordination with the Embassy of India, Tehran, to ensure their safety and well-being, AIMSA said.
“Indian students who were relocated from Tehran have safely reached Qom as part of precautionary arrangements. The movement was carried out in coordination with the Embassy of India in Tehran to ensure the safety and well-being of all students,” the association said.
According to AIMSA, well-arranged buses were provided for the relocation process. The association expressed gratitude to the embassy authorities for their support.
“All students are reported to be safe. Further updates and videos will be shared shortly,” it said. The Association has also appealed to parents and well-wishers to remain calm. It assured that continuous communication is being maintained with the concerned authorities to ensure the safety of every Indian student.
According to AIMSA, students from universities including BUMS, TUMS, IUMS, Kerman and others have been instructed to relocate.
The advisory directed students to move immediately to designated safer zones and carry only a 5 kg bag while relocating.
Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) also confirmed the development. “Our representatives in Tehran have confirmed that students are being relocated. This is what we had been requesting for quite some time, given that the airspace is closed and air evacuation is not possible. We asked the Embassy to relocate the students, and I can confirm they are being relocated,” JKSA Convenor said.
