SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah Tuesday urged Kashmiri students studying in Iran to leave the country at the earliest. “I am saying this very clearly, they should not ignore the govt of India’s advisory. Otherwise, it could become an issue for us tomorrow,” Omar told reporters.He said the students should act swiftly while the situation in Iran is stable and the airports are open. “They should book their tickets and return. If the situation remains normal, they can always go back,” he said. “The Ministry of External Affairs has not issued this advisory without reason. If the situation worsens in Iran later, it will become difficult to ensure their safe evacuation.”National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah also appealed to students to return as soon as possible. “If the airspace is closed tomorrow, their parents will be anxious and raise noise here. It is better to leave early because once flights are suspended, evacuation becomes extremely difficult. The advisory has already been issued, and it should be taken seriously,” he said.
