A total of 687 Indians stranded in Iran were brought to V.O. Chidambaranar Port in Tuticorin on Wednesday by Indian Navy Ship Jalashwa, a defence official said.
The evacuation is part of 'Operation Samudra Setu' under the 'Vande Bharat Mission' to bring back Indians stranded across the world in the wake of cancellation of flights amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The evacuees were screened by the port health officials on deboarding and their luggage sanitised.
