Omar Abdullah Addresses Student Evacuation and Yatra Concerns
Omar Abdullah is helping students from Jammu and Kashmir in Iran come home safely.
Because it's hard to fly out of Iran, they are going to Armenia first.
He also talked about the Amarnath Yatra, where helicopters usually help.
It seems like they are not allowed to fly this year which may send a wrong signal.
Finally, tourist spots are reopening, and hopefully, visitors will come back soon.
J&K students in Iran are being moved to Armenia for safe return.
Omar Abdullah spoke with the Ministry of External Affairs about the evacuations.
Airports and ports in Iran are closed.
Helicopter services are not allowed for the Amarnath Yatra.
Abdullah mentioned reopening of tourist destinations.
