As the tension between Israel and Iran intensified, the Indian embassy coordinated the transfer of 110 Indian students from Tehran to Armenia on Tuesday as part of the “Sindhu operation”. The students later deviated from the capital of Armenia, Yerevan and arrived in Nový Delhi soon on Thursday morning during the first evacuation flight.
After landing in Delhi, several students expressed gratitude to the Indian government to facilitate their return in the middle of fear during the conflict, while some explained the growing tension in the region.
One of the students evacuated from Iran said, “I am glad that I am back to our country. In Urmia we have not seen anything like that, but in other places in the whole Iran the situation was bad … The Indian government helped a lot and therefore we are at home.”
Another student added: “I am a MBBS student at Urmia University at the last year … We have seen drones and missiles. We were scared … We are glad that we can return to India and are a very grateful government of India, especially the Ministry of Outside.
Yasir Gaffar, Indian evacuated from Iran, said, “We saw missiles passing around and loud noises at night … I’m glad I arrived in India … I didn’t give up my dreams … When the situation improves, we’ll get back to Iran.”
The statement of gratitude Mariam Roz, a student from Iran, said: “The Indian embassy has already prepared everything for us. We did not affect any problems. We travel for three days, so we are tired … The situation was not so bad when we left.
Another student added: “I am very happy. I cannot express the words how happy I am to finally meet my family. The situation in Iran is very bad. People are like us; there are small children suffering. War is not a good thing. They kill humanity.”
