Imphal, May 2
A day after the government of Manipur had sent 4 buses to deport 84 stranded Manipuri natives from Guwahati Manipur Bhavan, Shillong Manipuri Students’ Union (SMSU) has urged the government of Manipur to make arrangement of stranded Manipuri natives at different parts of Meghalaya particularly in the state capital Shillong.
President of SMSU, Chontham Thangamba , in a press statement has requested the government of Manipur under the leadership of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh to arrange for transportation of the stranded people of Manipur at Shillong and other places of Meghalaya due to the COVID -19 lockdown to their home state Manipur.
“There are more than 300 (Three hundred) stranded students of different communities from Manipur here in Shillong due to Covid-19 lockdown in Meghalaya. The lockdown is likely to extend further As East Khasi hills now listed as red zone. In the present situation, though the maximum possible helps are extended from both local communities and Government of Meghalaya, these helps remain inadequate as there are several issues and problems that the students are facing now. Majority of the students are in private rented houses and they are now left on their own. The situation is bad now and it may become worse unless we take some necessary steps. The best possible solution is to transport them to their respective home in the earliest”, the statement by SMSU said.
