Iran Unrest: Kashmiri Parents Plead for Student Evacuation

Around 2,000 Kashmiri students, mostly in medical universities like Shiraz, Arak, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and Shaheed Beheshti, remain stranded amid Iran's violent protests and U.S. tensions as of January 15, 2026. Parents and the Jammu Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) appealed to PM Narendra Modi, EAM S. Jaishankar, and J&K CM Omar Abdullah for organized evacuation, citing risks from civil unrest, communication blackouts, and limited transport.
