IAF plane with 58 Indians from Iran lands at Hindon airbase

The first batch of 58 Indians who had been stuck in Iran, one of the worst coronavirus-affected nation, arrived at the Hindon Air Force Station in Ghaziabad on Tuesday morning. "First batch of 58 Indian pilgrims being brought back from Iran. IAF C-17 taken off from Tehran and expected to land soon in Hindon," External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar informed a little while ago. The Minister lauded the efforts of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Indian embassy in Tehran as well as those of Iranian authorities in evacuating the Indian pilgrims.
