"Devendra Fadnavis also contacted the Manipur government and requested that these students be kept safe until the situation normalizes," according to the statement.

Digital Desk: Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, met with Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh about the safety of students trapped in the violence-hit state and urged him to provide them with security until the situation stabilizes.

Fadnavis also addressed the state's students stranded in Manipur, assuring them of full support. This comes amid violence in Manipur, which erupted on May 3 during a 'Tribal Solidarity March' called by the All Tribal Student Union Manipur (ATSUM) in Torbung area of Churachandpur district to protest the demand for Scheduled Tribe (SC) status by non-tribal Meiteis, who are dominant in the Imphal Valley.

According to an official statement from the Deputy Chief Minister's Office, some students from Maharashtra are continuing their studies at the NIT Manipur and have been stranded due to the state's deteriorating scenario.

According to sources, the Chief Secretary of Maharashtra phoned the Director General of Police in Manipur and demanded quick assistance.

"Devendra Fadnavis also contacted the Manipur government and requested that these students be kept safe until the situation normalizes," according to the statement.

"Immediate arrangements are being made by the Maharashtra government to bring these students safely to Maharashtra," the statement continued.

Meanwhile, the Indian Army and the Assam Rifles have provided a ray of hope to the war-torn Churachandpur district. For the past 96 hours, the joint forces have worked relentlessly to evacuate citizens from all communities, quell violence, and restore normalcy in the area. Because of their tireless efforts, no serious violence has been reported as of yet. As a result, the curfew in Churachandpur has been loosened from 7 to 10 a.m. on Sunday, followed by a flag march by Security Forces.
