Tripura Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury, BJP state General Secretary Amit Rakhsit, and other government officials were present to receive the passengers who were stranded in the violence-affected Manipur.
Speaking with reporters, Minister Chowdhury said, “Due to the unfortunate incident that prevailed in Manipur, many students of our state studying in Manipur were stuck. Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha has immediately taken up the matter on an urgent basis and spoke with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister of Manipur N Biren Singh, and has arranged a special flight to bring back our students and people of Tripura in home. On Sunday we will bring other people who left in Manipur. This is an example of “Sabka Saath Sabka Bikas and Sabka Viswas”.
He said that the parents of the student were in trouble because of the unpleasant situation.

I want to thank the Chief Minister and other state government officials for the steps. Today 182 has already arrived and more 37 will arrive on Sunday”, he said.
