In a significant effort under Operation Sindhu, Indian students were evacuated from escalating tensions in Iran, with many expressing profound gratitude towards the Indian Central government for facilitating their safe return to New Delhi. Describing the conditions in Iran as dire, students spoke of widespread fear among locals.

One evacuee, Sheikh Afsa, praised the government's dedication, noting they were evacuated directly from their dormitories in Iran. Despite their safe return, concerns about continuing their studies remain, acknowledging the unpredictable situation back in Iran.

While the evacuation process went smoothly, students have made appeals for further action to rescue those stranded in Tehran and Isfahan, urging both the Indian government and the Jammu and Kashmir authorities to assist in their swift return home. The Indian government continues to prioritize the safety and security of its nationals abroad.
