The petitioner says nearly 600 Indian fishermen from Tamil Nadu, particularly from Kanniyakumari, Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts are stranded in Iran. The Central government on Thursday informed Madurai Bench of Madras High Court that the Indian Embassy in Iran was taking all necessary steps to render assistance to the Indians stranded in Iran. A Division Bench of Justices N. Sathish Kumar and M. Jothiraman was informed by Deputy Solicitor General K. Govindarajan that helpline numbers and e-mail IDs had been circulated. With regard to the evacuation, it was beyond the hands of the authorities as Iran had closed its airports and ports.
