Iran’s Growing Unrest Sparks Quick Action to Keep Pakistani Students Safe
With protests heating up in Iranian cities, at least 72 Pakistani students are back on Pakistani soil. This is a big step in keeping our people safe when things get shaky overseas. Pakistan’s Ambassador to Iran, Muhammad Mudassir Tipu, said the government’s watching things closely to make sure all Pakistanis in Iran are doing okay.
The students who’ve already made it back were studying at the University of Hormozgan. They’re working on getting the others out soon. This quick move shows Pakistan’s serious about looking after its own during tough times in the region.
Pakistan Embassy Sends Out Important Travel Tips and Safety Advice
Because protests are messing with daily life and how people communicate in Iran, the Pakistan Embassy in Tehran, working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has put out some important advice for Pakistanis planning to head home.
They’re telling everyone to:
- Get their travel stuff sorted ASAP
- Double-check their visas or exit stamps
- Get to border crossings early, since things might take longer than usual
- Stick to landlines to contact the embassy, as internet and mobile networks might be down
These steps should help everyone get back safe and sound.
Students First: A Top Concern During the Problems
Students from Pakistan are a big part of the international crowd in Iran, especially at universities. But with these protests, some families back home started to worry, and wanted the government to step in.
Ambassador Tipu wants parents to know that the embassy’s making students a priority. He mentioned that embassy staff are talking to Iranian officials and border control to make sure everyone can leave without a problem.
Communication Issues Make Things Harder
One of the biggest headaches has been that the internet and phones haven’t been working right. It’s tough for students to get updates when that happens. The embassy suggesting landlines highlights how serious things are and why everyone needs to be prepared.
Even with these issues, getting dozens of students back shows good work in handling this crisis.
Government’s Keeping a Close Watch
The Foreign Office in Islamabad is keeping an eye on Iran. They want to make sure they can make decisions fast to keep Pakistanis safe. They’ve said they’ll help with more evacuations if things get worse. They’re also telling people to only listen to official sources for info.
This whole thing shows why it’s good to be ready for anything when things get shaky around the world. It also shows Pakistan’s promise to protect its people, no matter where they are.
A Weight Lifted for Families
The safe return of these students is a huge relief for families who’ve been waiting for news. Even though things are still uncertain, the government’s quick actions have made people feel better. It’s also a reminder to listen to official advice in emergencies.
With protests continuing in Iran, Pakistani officials are staying alert, making sure everyone gets the help they need.
