Srinagar: The mortal remains of a Kashmiri MBBS student, Late Saba Rasool, who died in Iran earlier this week, reached Srinagar on Saturday and were laid to rest at her ancestral graveyard in Safa Kadal area of Srinagar amid tears and sobs.
After completing all formalities in Tehran and Delhi, her body was flown to the Valley and taken to her residence in an ambulance this afternoon.
As per the details collected by the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), amid sobs and tears, the body of late Saba Rasool reached Srinagar this afternoon and was laid to rest.
The Nimaz-e-Jinazah was offered at Seki Daffer Park before the burial, in which a large number of people participated.
Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) said the family had to bear nearly ten times the normal airfare for repatriation, with only limited assistance from the Indian Embassy.
“Such moments of grief should be met with compassion, not unbearable financial burdens,” it said.
The JKSA has urged External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar to intervene, reimburse the family’s expenses and establish a formal support mechanism for families of Indian students and citizens who die abroad.
