One of their acquaintances from Iran helped them arrange a car and a driver who took them to the camp. Last, I could speak to him on Friday evening. It was a journey of almost 12-13 hours. The network issue still continues” said, father of one of the four persons stranded in Iran.

After several days of uncertainty, the two couples from Mumbai stuck in war-torn Iran have finally managed to make transportation arrangements and reach the evacuation camps set up at a hotel in Mashhad for stranded Indians by the Indian Embassy in Tehran. With the help of their Iranian acquaintance, they arranged a private car and driver to travel over 950 km from Kelardasht County near Abbasabad city to an Indian evacuation camp in Mashhad.

He further added, “We do not know if they will be charged to stay in the hotel. They do not have much money, and there is no way they can withdraw as everything there is shut.”
