Srinagar, Jan 15: Relief is in sight for Indian students in Iran, including around 2,000 from Jammu and Kashmir, as the country has reopened its airspace for civilian flights following recent tensions. The first evacuation flight from Tehran to Delhi is scheduled for Friday.

The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association confirmed that all students have been registered, and their passports and personal details have been collected by the Indian Embassy in Iran. Students from Golestan University, along with some from SBUMS and TUMS, are expected to be part of the first batch, with final passenger details to be confirmed tonight.
The reopening of airspace and evacuation flights has eased the anxiety of students and families in J&K. The operation, coordinated by Indian authorities in close liaison with the Embassy, will continue over the coming days to ensure the safe return of all remaining students.
