We faced no issues till now. But we have come to know that buses are being arranged for us from here. I think after travelling to 3 countries, we are not ready to travel by bus. I request our CM (of J&K) to facilitate us so that we can meet our parents at the earliest.”Also Read: Hurricane Erick Intensifies to Category 3, Threatens Southern Mexico with Torrential Rains and Damaging WindsAnother student said, “The situation there (Iran) is bad, and people are scared.
