A Mahan Air evacuation flight carrying 256 Indian students, majority of them from the Kashmir valley, landed safely at the Delhi airport on Saturday, bringing much-needed relief to their anxious families amid the Iran-Israel war, reported the PTI.

The students, many of whom were stranded in Iran amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, appeared visibly exhausted but relieved after enduring days of fear and uncertainty in the conflict zone.

"Thanks to the Government of India for its efforts and timely coordination with Iranian authorities. We remain committed to ensuring the safe evacuation of all remaining students, especially those from vulnerable and remote regions," the Jammu and Kashmir Students' Association said in a statement, according to the PTI.
