A second repatriation flight carrying Indian students stranded in war-torn Iran arrived in New Delhi late on Monday. The flight with dozens of stranded Indians on board flew from Armenia capital Yerevan to New Delhi after a layover in Dubai.
Labeeb Qadri, a 23-year-old MBBS student from Urmia University, said after spending nearly two weeks in constant fear of losing life, he still can't process that he has returned back safely.
The group travelled by bus from universities across Iran to the Iran–Armenia border, crossed into Armenia, and then flew from Yerevan to Dubai before boarding a connecting flight to Delhi, as Iranian airspace remains closed following the war that began on February 28.
This marks the second flight that arrived at the Delhi airport carrying stranded Indians. On Sunday morning, the first evacuation flight carrying around 80 people, including students and pilgrims had arrived on time.
