Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Saturday said students from the state studying in northern India were evacuated and brought to Delhi amid the military conflict between India and Pakistan.
“In view of the prevailing situation between our nation and Pakistan, as of this morning, about 70 students from Meghalaya who are pursuing their studies in Punjab and Haryana have been accommodated in Meghalaya House, Delhi,” the chief minister posted on X.
He said, “We are expecting some more students who are still on their way.”
The Chief Minister also called on Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi. “Briefed him and thanked him for his support to our state. Also carried a prayer message from Meghalaya for our Armed Forces defending our nation on the frontline. May God protect them,” he said.
