If there is no internet, your family in India can register for you.
Why is this happening?
The Indian government is worried about safety in Iran. When countries ask their people to leave like this, it usually means they think there could be serious trouble soon. This could be because of political problems, protests, or possible conflict in the region.
This is not the first warning. India also sent an advisory over a year ago in January 2025. The new warning is more urgent and tells people to act now.
