With the timely intervention of the administration of the Union Territory students stranded in the violence-plagued state of Manipur were evacuated. The students were left for their respective areas after higher-ups effectively took up the issue with their counterparts in Manipur to ensure the safety and security of J&K students studying in Manipur.

Initial reports said that three students, two from Jammu and one from Baramulla district, who were struck in Manipur, have been safely evacuated with the efforts of the administration of the Lieutenant Governor. All three were students of NIT Imphal.
