Indo-Pak tension: NE students studying in Punjab & Haryana moved to safer places

AGARTALA: In the wake of the India-Pakistan tensions, various state governments of the northeast have moved their students studying in Punjab and Haryana to safer places, officials said on Saturday.

The Tripura government on Saturday issued an advisory asking all the students hailing from the state (Tripura) studying in different states to contact the concerned official of Tripura Bhavan in New Delhi.

Emergency student help line numbers of Tripura Bhavan in New Delhi were announced, and these numbers would be available round-the-clock.

Meanwhile, a Nagaland government official also said that they are taking necessary steps for the protection of the state’s students studying in bordering northern Indian states.

The influential Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has urged the state government to take urgent necessary steps to evacuate the students.

The NSF said that many students from the state have been studying in northern India, and they are facing problems due to the closure of airports in view of the conflicts.

The NSF said that besides students, many affected people are seeking assistance to return home safely.  The NSF urged the Chief Secretary to immediately establish mechanisms to ensure the safety and swift return of the students and other people of the state. (IANS)
