India, June 24 -- Embassy of India in Tehran on Tuesday said the evacuation exercise for Indians initiated during the military conflict in Iran will be gradually winding up since there has been an announcement of ceasefire.

India on Tuesday evacuated over 1,100 citizens from Iran and Israel amid ongoing tensions between the two countries, taking the number of evacuees under Operation Sindhu to 3,170.

The Indian embassy said it has closed the contact desk that was opened to register new names for evacuation, adding that the government of India is still keeping a careful eye on the evolving situation and will reassess its strategy in case there is again a threat to the security of Indian nationals in Iran.
