Saba Jaan, who returned to Srinagar from Iran, is happy to come home on his face, but he is also worried about friends stuck there. Saba was living in Iran for 4 years for medical studies. He is included in the first group of 110 Indian students who returned from Iran, who were brought to India on 18 June via Armenia.
The Government of India has started Operation Indus to evacuate students trapped in Iran-Israel Jung. Under this, 400 students have returned so far. However, about 10,000 Indians, including more than 1,000 students, are still stranded in Iran. They are also ready to bring them to India.
The Government of India has so far removed 110 students from Iran. Among them, more than 90 are from Jammu and Kashmir, who study Uromia Medical University in Iran.
Dainik Bhaskar returned from Iran and spoke to some students trapped there.
First of all the students returned to India… ‘Mobile network, internet turned off, circumstances deteriorated with every day’ The first batch of Kashmiri students returned from Iran reached Srinagar on 19 June. Among them, Saba Jaan, a resident of Safa Kader in Srinagar, is also. On the situation of war, Saba says, “I have seen such situations for the first time in the last 4 years.”
‘The first drone attack in our city occurred outside the children’s hospital. The second attack was carried out at the Tabries Airport. Israel also tried to target Imam Reza Mazar, the most sacred site of Shias. Mashhad Airport was destroyed in Israeli attacks. We were very scared to see all this.
When did the situation deteriorate more? In response, Saba says, ‘It became difficult to talk to the family only two days after the attacks. Internet and mobile network stopped working. We told my parents that now there will be not much talk on the phone. I assured them that everything is fine here. We are safe, they do not need to be afraid. ‘
By then the internet was being closed for just a few hours, but later completely black out. We were unable to talk anywhere. Hostels, hospitals and homes were being attacked. There was no money in ATM. They are empty. Shops are closed and the situation is deteriorating day by day.
Israel is constantly threatening to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei. We started feeling that now the situation in Iran is getting worse. However, Embassy immediately expelled us from there.
Returned to India after traveling 4 days Saba says, ‘I am very happy to return home. The situation in which the battle was stuck, I had given up hope of a safe return. The Government of India and Iran are thankful to the Indian Embassy. He helped us a lot. First we took us to safe place in Iran. After this, our return was arranged. However, many students are still stranded in Iran. Indian Embassy and Ministry of External Affairs are trying to evacuate them.
Saba is now with his family in Srinagar. She says that our university will call us as soon as the situation in Iran comes under control.
Talking about the journey, Saba says, ‘We reached Delhi from Iran after traveling for 4 days. However, there was a lot of disappointment due to the Jammu and Kashmir government. The government sent a state transport bus from Delhi to Srinagar. After so much fatigue, it was difficult to travel 750 km again in that bus.
‘We tried to contact the officers, but no one raised the call. We booked tickets in the Emergency and came home.
‘Drone fell on hospital ambulance at midnight’ Sheikh Anisa, a resident of Budgam in Kashmir, has also returned home. She lived in Kom city. Anisa says, ‘Initially we felt that it is a matter of one or two days, soon everything will be normal. We kept going to regular university. When the tension increased and the attacks between the two countries intensified, the university was also closed. Then our fear started increasing.
On Iran’s situation, Anisa says, ‘There are constant attacks. Once our hostel was also attacked. It was night time. We were all sleeping. Then the hostel door started moving. We were all scared. It turned out that there has been a drone attack on an ambulance in the hospital where we work. Two people died in this.
If the situation started deteriorating in Iran, then we got the message of Indian Embassy. He said, we should not worry, if the situation worsens, they will take us safely. Eventually they brought us out safely India.
On coming to India, she says, ‘We were relocated in other cities. From there, we were brought to India through the country whose border was close. The border of Iran seems to be from Turki, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Armenia. Relocked students in Mashhad City are being brought to India via Turkmenistan. We were in the city of Kom, so Armenia was safe for us. We returned to Delhi from there. ‘
‘Even while returning to India, the whole journey turned out in panic. The sound of drones and missiles was coming. Many students present with us started crying. We had to travel a long way to reach home. Went on foot too. Buses changed in many places, but the staff of security and ambassador was with us.
The situation in Iran is very bad. Some of our friends are still there. They are upset saying that get us out from here too.
Anisa is worried about stopping her course in the middle. She says, ‘Amidst all this, there is a lot of loss of our studies. Exams and classes will be online, but practical work in the hospital will not be possible for us. The university has said that as soon as the situation gets better, they will tell us when we have to return.
Tamheed -ul -Islam, who is doing MBBS from Iran, has also returned to India. His last year of medical is going on. He explains, ‘The war between Iran and Israel is increasing. Seeing this, the Government of India took us safe from there. I was in the first batch of students who reached India. The rest of the students in Iran have also been taken to safe location.
Tamheed says that we are thankful to the Government of India for bringing back the country. Indian Embassy in Iran helped us a lot. First we were taken from Tehran to Armenia. Embassy officials made all arrangements for us by talking to the Indian officials on the Armenia border. From there we reached Delhi via Doha and now have returned to our homes Kashmir.
This picture is from Tehmid’s house in Anantnag, Kashmir. The family’s worry has gone away from returning to his home.
Now the matter of students trapped in Iran… ‘Continuous aircrafts in Tehran, are unable to sleep at night’ More than 1000 Indian students are still stranded in Iran. Among them are Khayatul, a resident of Budgam in Kashmir. He not only saw these attacks, but has also felt them. She says, ‘Both the boys and girls have been destroyed due to the aircraft in Tehran. We are living in a very poor condition. There are explosions all night, we do not even sleep. ‘
Khayatul has also shared a video with his colleagues. In this, she says, ‘Hostel and university helped us a lot in such circumstances. The university has expelled us from the place of bombing and sent to the safe place. There is no response from Embassy regarding return to India. We are repeatedly pleading, but nothing has been done so far.
Khayatul released this video with his friends from Iran and requested help.
‘However, we are still under stress due to the deteriorating situation. There was an airplane on our hostel in Tehran. It has suffered injuries to two Kashmiri comrades. 600 Indian students, including about 500 Kashmiri students, have been shifted from Kom City.
‘No water, no internet, government should drain us from here’ Kashmiri student Zehra, who hails from Anantnag, is also stuck in Iran. He is a medical science student at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran. A video of her has surfaced before Iran, in which she appeals to remove the students as soon as possible.
She says, ‘The Boys Hostel of Tehran University has suffered a lot in the Israeli attacks. Our brothers are living here. Some of them have also suffered injuries. We may also have to see such situations, so request that we be taken out of here.
Zehra further says, ‘There is neither water nor internet in our hostel right now. It has also become difficult for us to contact someone. We appeal to LG Manoj Sinha and CM Omar Abdullah of Jammu and Kashmir to arrange to remove us immediately.
Nargis Batul, who was caught in Tehran itself, is also studying medical science from Shahid Beheshti University. She says,
There are constant attacks here. Parents in India are very scared about our safety. They want to return to our homeland as soon as possible. We also want the same.
Students brought to Mashhad City We also talked to the Students Association when students were evacuated from Iran. He told- ‘Students have been brought from different institutions in Iran in Mashhad City. These include students from Islamic Azad University, Iran University of Medical Science and Shaheed Beheshti University. The distance from here to Kom city is about 1000 km. It is taking about 15 hours to bring students by road here.
They will be taken from Mashhad to Turkmenistan, from where they will go to Delhi via flight. We are in the contact of the Indian Embassy and Ministry of External Affairs in Iran. He has assured the students to evacuate from Iran.
On June 20, another flight reached Delhi with 290 Indian students from Iran.
Jung will last long, Indian Embassy students are relocating students We talked to Hashmi, the activist Aga Syed Agreement present in Iran about the increasing tension between Iran and Israel.
He explains, ‘There is no possibility of stopping the war between the two countries quickly. It will last long. Here Tehran, Shiraz and students studying in the rest of the universities of Iran are safe, their families do not have to worry. Here Indian Embassy is working to take these people to safe places.
Hashmi further says, ‘There is no possibility of decreasing war in so many days. It will last long. Some more parts of Iran have an atmosphere of instability. Indian Embassy is monitoring all this. Seeing the situation, she is shifting students to safe location in Iran as well.
He appealed to the students of the students to maintain peace and trust the efforts of the administration. She is constantly trying to return to the homeland of students.
