The India government has launched 'Operation Sindhu,' a coordinated mission to evacuate nationals from Iran amid ongoing regional instability.

In the first successful operation under this mission, 110 Indian students were safely evacuated on June 17.

The students crossed into neighbouring Armenia under the supervision of Indian diplomatic missions in both Iran and Armenia. After arriving in Yerevan, Armenia's capital, they were flown back to India on a special flight organised by the ministry.
