17 Telugu evacuees safely reach New Delhi from Iran

Seventeen Telugu-speaking Indians who were stuck in war-torn areas of Iran landed safely in New Delhi early Tuesday, thanks to Operation Sindhu—India's ongoing mission to bring its people home from the Iran-Israel conflict zone.

TL;DR

Operation Sindhu has helped 2,295 Indians get out of Iran

Operation Sindhu has helped 2,295 Indians get out of Iran so far. The government first moved people from risky spots like Tehran to safer cities before flying them home.
Of the latest group, 10 are staying at Andhra Bhavan in Delhi for now, while seven caught connecting flights.

What is being done for the evacuees?

Andhra Bhavan is making sure evacuees have a place to stay, food to eat, medical help if needed, and support for their next journey.
Volunteers and local groups are pitching in too.
Around 800 more Indians—mostly students and those hit hardest by the crisis—are still waiting for their turn to come back.
