Jaipur: A family in the Walled City area of Subhash Chowk has appealed to the Govt of India to evacuate their six-year-old granddaughter from Iran’s Qom district, citing her fragile health and the escalating US–Israel strikes in the region.Residents of four-storey Taqvi Manzil have been anxiously tracking news updates as their daughter Hina Taqvi, son-in-law Hasan Abbas, and granddaughter Maryam remain in Qom, reportedly witnessing heavy missile attacks. The family says they have been unable to contact them since the afternoon of Feb 28. The last message they received from Hina read: “Pray for us.” Maryam suffers from a serious neurological condition that requires frequent hospitalisation and specialised care. With tensions rising, the family fears access to treatment could be disrupted. Habib Zehra, Hina’s mother, said they are desperate for help. “With every passing hour, I keep calling their numbers only to find them not connected. My granddaughter is ill and requires immediate medical help. In the present situation, she may not be able to get the treatment she needs there. It is possible only in our country,” Zehra said. The situation is further complicated as Maryam’s passport has expired and is currently under renewal. The family fears this could delay evacuation if special flights for Indian nationals are arranged. “We appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is among the most powerful leaders in the world, to intervene and ensure the safe evacuation of Indians not only from Iran but from the entire region,” Zehra said. The family continues to wait anxiously for contact, hoping for their safe return.
