Srinagar, Jan 17: Amidst concerns over unrest and communication blackout in Iran, the first group of students, pilgrims and others, touched down at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi early this morning.
The returning citizens, the number of whom is estimated to be around 150, arrived in two flights that left from Shiraz and Tehran. They described the ground reality as less alarming than international media reports suggest. Many attributed the perceived escalation of violence to widespread internet shutdowns.
