“Since there has been an announcement of ceasefire, the Embassy is gradually winding up the evacuation exercise initiated during the military conflict in Iran,” said the Embassy in Tehran, announcing that the contact desk set up to help evacuating Indians at Mashhad was being closed.
“If any Indian citizens need any advice or assistance, or have any other special needs, they may contact the Embassy through the Telegram channel or on the helplines provided earlier. These communication channels will be open for the next few days,” the Indian embassy said. The process of closing down the evacuation process from Iran will remain in place for two more days to evaluate the ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
