Indian students in Iran safe, situation under close watch: AIMSA, FAIMA

AIMSA and FAIMA confirm all Indian students in Iran are safe. Embassy and officials are closely monitoring the situation amid regional unrest.

"All our students are safe. There is no need to panic. - Dr Mohammad Momin Khan"

Srinagar, January 11

The All India Medical Students Association and the Federation of All India Medical Associations on Sunday said that all Indian students currently studying in Iran are safe, urging families and the public not to panic.

Dr Mohammad Momin Khan, Vice President of AIMSA and FAIMA Doctors Association, said that both organisations have received updates from Indian students across Iran confirming their safety amid the prevailing situation.

He said many students personally contacted the associations and conveyed messages for their families, assuring that they were safe and secure. "All our students are safe. There is no need to panic," Dr Khan said in a statement.

According to him, senior officials and the Indian Embassy are closely monitoring the situation and remain in constant touch with students and local authorities to ensure their well-being.

The associations said regular communication channels are being maintained, and any further developments will be shared promptly to avoid misinformation and unnecessary anxiety among families back home.

The reassurance comes amid concerns expressed by families of students studying in Iran, with AIMSA and FAIMA emphasising that there is no immediate threat to Indian students and that the situation remains under watch.

According to the US-based human rights organisation HRANA, at least 116 people have been killed since the protests began in Iran, which have escalated into widespread violent confrontations across 30 provinces.

Good step by the associations. But the government and embassy need to have a concrete evacuation plan ready just in case things deteriorate further. We've seen in Ukraine how quickly situations can change. Safety first.

Respectfully, while the update is comforting, the article mentions over 100 killed in the protests. "Situation under watch" is fine, but are we sure "no immediate threat" is accurate? Hope our students are far from the trouble spots.

Maintaining clear communication is key to prevent panic. Well done to the student associations for being proactive. The last thing needed is misinformation spreading on WhatsApp groups causing more stress for families.

Our students go abroad for quality education, often at great cost to their families. The MEA must ensure their safety is the top priority. Jai Hind.

Heartening to see Indian organizations stepping up. Hope the students continue to stay safe and focus on their studies. Parents must be going through a lot of tension.
