Meanwhile, the Government of India has put contingency arrangements in place to evacuate stranded Indian nationals from Iran amid growing safety concerns linked to ongoing unrest. However, sources told India Today that the evacuation plan is not being implemented at present, following the latest assessment of the ground situation. Officials said preparations remain ready to allow a quick response if conditions worsen.
Earlier, the Indian Embassy in Tehran had issued a separate advisory urging students, pilgrims, businesspersons and tourists to leave Iran using available commercial flights or other transport options.
