A video message from an Indian student in Tehran has gone viral as protests and curfews grip Iran.
Amidst rising safety concerns and advisories from India urging citizens to leave, the student recorded a message to reassure her anxious family. “I’m fine… I’m alive,” she says, trying to calm fears back home.
Recording on a friend’s phone due to internet restrictions, she describes the situation, noting curfews after 6 PM and economic protests. She emphasizes that she is staying indoors and has sufficient supplies of food and water. Her calm demeanor contrasts with the growing tension reported in the media.
Authorities in India, particularly from Jammu & Kashmir, have stepped up efforts to monitor the safety of their citizens in the region. Helpline numbers have been shared, and officials are coordinating with the Indian Embassy in Iran to facilitate documentation and support for those stranded or wishing to return.
