As many as 66 Meghalaya Students studying in different universities and institutes in Imphal arrived at Guwahati on Friday. The Meghalaya government has started evacuating students and civilians from riot-hit Manipur.
Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) Dr LR Bishnoi on Friday said that the state police are in regular touch with the senior police officers of Manipur.
“Today I have spoken to the DGP of Manipur and they have assured us to provide full safety to the citizens. I have spoken to DGP and lots of forces have reached there and within a couple of days the situation will become normal.”
Asked about the safety of the students still residing in riot-hit Manipur, he said, “We have spoken to the Assam Rifles officials also in Manipur, they have assured us to provide security till they depart from the Imphal and I don’t visualise any serious problem. Once they come here, we have a plan to interact with them so that they should not feel any kind of trauma after this.”
