He emphasised that adequate transport facilities are being arranged following Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's directions.

Sharma also mentioned that he has instructed the RTC to remain on standby. This ensures any additional logistical support required by returning residents and students can be provided promptly.

The efforts made by the Jammu and Kashmir government highlight their dedication to ensuring a safe return for students coming back from Iran. The administration's proactive measures reflect their commitment to supporting these young individuals during their journey home.
