Visakhapatnam: In a compassionate gesture towards international students affected by the ongoing West Asia conflict, the Andhra Pradesh government has extended a financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh to two Iranian students studying here.
Visakhapatnam district collector M Abhishikth Kishore handed over Rs 1 lakh to Zeenab and Solmaj, who are pursuing a pharmacy course at Andhra University.
“Kishore gave Rs 1 lakh to the Iranian sisters who sought financial assistance, citing the difficulties that arose due to the US-Iran war,” said an official press release late on Thursday, April 9.
Out of the Rs 1 lakh, Rs 50,000 was drawn from the District Sanjeevani Fund and the remaining Rs 50,000 from Kanakamahalakshmi Devasthanam.
