Srinagar, Jan. 13 -- The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) has urged the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the Union minister for external affairs to undertake urgent intervention to ensure the safety, security, dignity, and overall welfare of Indian students particularly those from the Kashmir Valley currently studying in Iran. The association said that due to the ongoing disturbances in Iran, parents of Kashmiri students are extremely distressed and anxious, fearing for the safety and well-being of their children. National convener of the association, Nasir Khuehami, expressed concern over the situation of hundreds of Indian students, the majority of whom are from Jammu and Kashmir, who are pursuing MBBS and other professional medical courses in Iran owing to its affordable education system and long-standing academic and people-to-people ties with India. He said many parents have been unable to establish contact with their wards for the past four days, intensifying fears about their safety. Phone calls are reportedly not connecting, messaging services remain inaccessible, and social media platforms often the only means of reassurance have largely fallen silent, causing acute psychological distress among families. He further stated that nearly 2,000 Kashmiri students are currently enrolled in medical universities across different provinces of Iran and remain dependent on local hostels, university infrastructure, public transportation, and essential civic services, making them particularly vulnerable amid the ongoing civil unrest. "JKSA has been receiving continuous distress calls from students and their families highlighting restricted mobility, sporadic internet shutdowns, lack of timely safety advisories, and the absence of visible contingency or evacuation measures," he said. Seeking immediate remedial steps, the association urged the PM to direct the ministry of external affairs to establish round-the-clock communication channels between Indian students in Iran and the Indian Embassy in Tehran.htc...
