The Meghalaya government has arranged special flights to bring back stranded students from Manipur. The move comes in response to the growing demand from students and their families who have been stuck in Manipur due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The flights, which are being operated by Air India, will bring back students from different parts of Manipur to Guwahati, from where they will be transported to their hometowns in Meghalaya. The government has made arrangements for transportation and accommodation for the students upon their arrival.
The decision to arrange the special flights was taken after several students and their families approached the Meghalaya government for assistance. Many of the students are pursuing higher education in Manipur and were unable to return home due to travel restrictions and the closure of borders.
The Meghalaya government has also urged the students to adhere to all COVID-19 protocols and guidelines during their travel and stay in quarantine. The students will be required to undergo mandatory testing and quarantine upon their arrival in Meghalaya.
The move has been welcomed by the student community in Meghalaya, who have been struggling to return home due to the pandemic. Many students have been left stranded in different parts of the country, with limited access to resources and support.
The government’s initiative to bring back the students from Manipur is a positive step towards addressing the concerns of the student community in Meghalaya. It reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens, particularly during times of crisis.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges for governments around the world, and the Meghalaya government’s response to the situation is a testament to its proactive approach and commitment to serving its citizens. The special flights to bring back stranded students from Manipur is a welcome move, and it is hoped that similar initiatives will be taken in the future to address the needs of those affected by the pandemic.
