Delhi:
Amid growing concern in Ladakh over the evolving situation in Iran, Member of Parliament from Ladakh, Mohmad Haneefa Jan, has assured close monitoring of the safety of Ladakhi students and residents currently staying in the country.
Responding to anxiety among families across Ladakh, the MP said he is in constant coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian Embassy in Tehran. He stated that he has spoken with embassy officials multiple times and that the situation is being closely watched.
According to information shared by the Ministry, developments in Iran are under regular review and there is no immediate threat to Indian nationals at present. The Government of India has reiterated its commitment to the safety and welfare of all Indians abroad, including students and residents from Ladakh.
Haneefa Jan urged Ladakhi students, tullab, and other residents in Iran to ensure that their contact details are registered with the Indian Embassy and to remain in regular communication with embassy officials to enable swift response in case of any emergency.
The MP said he has been receiving frequent calls from distressed families following reports of protests and security operations in certain provinces of Iran. However, Indian authorities have conveyed that there has been no escalation posing a direct risk to Indian nationals so far.
The assurance has brought relief to families in Kargil, Leh, and other parts of Ladakh, which shares long-standing cultural and educational ties with Iran. A significant number of students from the region pursue religious and higher education there.
