Mumbai: As per reports, two Indians who had gone to Iran for some business purposes are now stuck in the country, the worst affected by the coronavirus as all civil aviation routes have been closed in the wake of the deadly virus outbreak.
Arvind Jadhav and Vedanta Kadam, residents of Mumbai, are trapped in Tehran, the capital of Iran, and have requested the Indian government to rescue them as soon as possible. They are worried because all civil aviation routes in Tehran have been closed and they are stuck.
