The Tripura government said Tuesday that a total of 32 students from the state were identified as studying in different parts of Ukraine, a country in the midst of an invasion by Russian troops. A few of the 32 students have reached Tripura.
Tripura Chief Secretary Kumar Alok tweeted, “We received a list of 32 students from Tripura studying in Ukraine. Their families are being contacted by the respective district administration to brief them about the elaborate arrangements made by GoI to bring them back. There is no need to worry about their safety.”
