Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said students from the union territory studying in Iran are being taken to Armenia from where they would be brought home.
“I have been in regular touch with Ministry of External Affairs, I spoke to Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and he assured me that first the students will be evacuated, under a plan, from those areas where there is more danger, especially from Tehran and Isfahan,” Abdullah said here.
He said the plan first was to evacuate the students to Qum where there was less danger, but because the airports and ports are closed, “so they are being taken over land to Armenia from where they will be brought home safely”. PTI
