Three students of Tripura safely returned from war-hit Ukraine on Thursday and two of them- Megha Trivedi and Jasmine Debbarma met with the Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb at the Civil Secretariat in Agartala city.

Felicitating both the medical students at his official chamber on Thursday evening, the Chief Minister hailed the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to evacuate the Indian students stranded in different cities of Ukraine.

CM Deb said “I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his concerted efforts to bring Indian students back. A lot of students are still stuck and I feel the union government will definitely ensure their safe return at the earliest”.

Megha and Jasmine landed at MBB Airport in Agartala and they have come to the Civil Secretariat straight from the airport, he added.

CM Deb said that he had a conversation with union minister Kiren Rijiju, who is now at the Ukraine border and administering the entire evacuation process of Indian students.

He also said, “It is an unparalleled situation. It would not be a wise decision to set up a rescue operation by entering in such a war-ravaged territory. To supervise and fast-track the evacuation process, many ministers are now camping at Ukraine borders. The union government has kept a close watch”.

Replying to a query, Deb said “We don’t have any exact number of how many students of Tripura are now stuck in a hostile situation like war. However, the government is extending all sorts of assistance to whosoever is seeking help through the helpline numbers on the internet.”
