New Delhi, Mar 14 : The Jammu and Kashmir administration has made arrangements for the smooth return of dozens of students and pilgrims who are scheduled to arrive at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here on Sunday morning from Iran.
The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association informed news agency Kashmir News Service (KNS) that the step was taken after it took up the matter with Nasir Sogami, an advisor to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
National Convenor of Students Association (JKSA), Nasir Khuehami, told news agency Kashmir News Service (KNS), “We raised the matter with the CM’s Advisor, Nasir Sogami, regarding the students’ onward journey to ensure that proper transportation is facilitated upon their arrival.”
