News Topical, Digital Desk : Eighty-four MBA students of a Pune-based institute are stranded in Dubai due to airspace restrictions imposed in view of the ongoing conflict in West Asia, the institute said on Sunday.

Indira School of Business Studies (ISBS) officials said the institute's students were in Dubai as part of an annual five-day study trip. All students are safe and are staying in a hotel. Forty students were scheduled to return to Pune on Saturday, while the remaining 44 were scheduled to fly out on Sunday.

They were unable to return due to the conflict in West Asia and the resulting airspace closure. Janardan Pawar, dean of the educational institution, said everyone was safe and had been taken to a hotel.

"We are in constant touch with them. We are also coordinating with the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Aviation. They will be brought back soon," said Tarita Shankar, chairperson of the Indira Group of Institutes.
