New Delhi: Over 250 Indians have tested positive for coronavirus in Iran, say doctors who went from India.

They were part of a delegation of over 800 from Kargil in Ladakh, who have been stuck in Iran since February. Most of them are stranded in hotels and other accommodation in Qom, one of the areas in Iran worst affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

A list of 254 is believed to have been compiled by a team of Indian doctors sent to the country, who conducted tests on the Indian delegation.

Haji Mustafa, a lawyer from Kargil, who says his relatives are amongst the Indian group in Iran, alleged that official neglect had exacerbated the crisis.

Over 200 Indians have been flown back from Iran in batches since last week. Most of them were students from Jammu and Kashmir studying in different universities and colleges in Iran.
