These are the students who were pursuing education in different institutions in Manipur, and due to the worsening law and order situation there, the government has decided to evacuate them.

The students who have reached Delhi are being safely sent to their homes by the state government in Volvo buses and cars. Prabhu Narain Singh, Relief Commissioner, said that all the students coming from Manipur are being taken care of. First, they are taken from the airport to the RC office and then to UP Bhawan, where arrangements have been made for their food, drink, and sleep, in addition to transportation to send them to their homes.

The Volvo buses are being used to transport students from faraway locations, while cars are being arranged for those from nearby areas.

The Relief Commissioner informed here that most of the students have been evacuated from Manipur. “Now only 38 students are left there, who will be brought back by Thursday. Our priority is to bring back all the students of UP who are studying in Manipur at the earliest possible time. We received information about 136 students being in Manipur, and action has been taken to bring them back by running a campaign.”

A 24×7 helpline, 1070, has been set up by the state government. If information about any additional students present in this is discovered, every effort will be made to bring them back. He stated that the Government of Manipur had provided complete assistance in the evacuation of the UP students. A bus service to transport UP students to the airport has been made available. As a result, no student has been a victim of violence.
