The Shillong Manipuri students Union (SMSU) today dated, the 11/05/2020 have deported 152 stranded students and families from different parts of Shillong to Imphal, Manipur via Bus from NH2 (Dimapur – Imphal) road due to Covid-19 lockdown in Meghalaya.
The Union have arranged with the Hand Sanitizers and drinking water bottles for all the students and the families including the Bus driver and the Conductor.
We have requested the Govt. officials of the Manipur to arrange proper screening, testing and quarantine facilities with proper norms and procedures identified by the Government of India for all the individuals to prevent the State, affecting from the Covid-19 virus.
The Union expresses unhappy with the decisions of the Cabinet meeting that held recently by the Government of Manipur about the issues of stranded people living outside the state.
It can be noted that as the Government is not helping with the travelling expenses of the Students, the students have faced a huge amount of burden against the travelling fare that was charge by the private Buses agency.
Therefore the Union appeal to the respected Government Authorities to kindly check and also requested to fully reimburse the amount that the Students have expend with admit of unfortunate virus accordingly with prior verification.
The Union requests the Honorable CM Biren Singh to kindly take necessary action on the issue highlighted above. We are anticipating your appropriate urgent action.
