Several students who were continuously making attempts to return back to India, gathered close to the airport were reported, driven by the continuously deteriorating situation. Some of them who succeeded in establishing contact with their parents in Chhattisgarh were reported to be highly frightened, narrating horrific tales of worsening the situation and highly worried about their safety and future.
