Amid rising tensions between Iran and Israel, Indian students have been evacuated from a war-torn Tehran under 'Operation Sindhu'. Mir Khalif, a student, described the petrifying moments when missiles shook their building.
Coordinated by the Indian Embassy, the evacuation involved over a hundred students, the majority from Jammu and Kashmir, who found temporary refuge in Armenia before being flown to Delhi. The Indian government has orchestrated this special evacuation mission amid growing concerns for citizen safety.
Minister of State for External Affairs, Kirti Vardhan Singh, welcomed the students at Delhi airport, emphasizing India's commitment to its citizens abroad. With ongoing efforts, more flights are scheduled as the government intensifies its rescue operations.
