New Delhi: A total of 827 Indian nationals have been safely evacuated from the conflict-hit Iran under the government’s ongoing ‘Operation Sindhu’, launched in response to the intensifying conflict between Iran and Israel.
The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that the latest evacuation flight from Mashhad, carrying 310 Indians, landed in Delhi at 4:30 PM on Saturday.
Waving Indian flags and shouting patriotic slogans like “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”, they were visibly emotional upon arrival at the Delhi airport.
“I was afraid, but the place where we were staying was technically safe. When the Indian embassy took the initiative to evacuate us, we moved out safely to India. Hats off to the government,” said one evacuee to IANS.
Another returnee, Qamar Jahan, shared, “The government of India did a lot for us. We received good food with great care. Our stomachs were full and we had no trouble at all during the journey. PM Modi did a lot for us, and we will pray for him.” (IANS)
