Sharing stories of horror to reporters at the airport, Akshay said that the situation in Manipur was turning bad to worse with every passing day. “I was staying in a hostel where I used to hear sounds of explosion and cries of people every now and then.

Apart from security issues, Karan stated that non-availability of food items in boarding facilities too was an issue. “We could not walk out due to security issues and had to spend hours without food,” he said.

Multani stated that her brother had contacted authorities for her safe return. “The MP government took care of everything right from our lodging in a safe hotel there to our flight tickets to Indore,” she told reporters.

She stated that few more students living in NIT and other institutes were still stranded in Manipur.
