The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has expressed grave concern over the plight of Naga students and youths currently stranded in Nepal due to the ongoing political crisis in the neighbouring country.

In a letter to Nagaland Chief Secretary, the Federation said that many Naga students had travelled to Nepal for academic and professional pursuits, but the prevailing turmoil has placed them in a situation of “grave uncertainty and distress.”

Calling for urgent government intervention, the NSF appealed to the Nagaland State Government to facilitate the safe return of the stranded individuals. It further urged the State Government to coordinate with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, and other relevant agencies to arrange the necessary travel support, documentation, and transit assistance.

The Federation also recommended that suitable arrangements be made for the returnees upon their arrival in Nagaland, including logistical support and immediate assistance where required. “Such timely intervention by the Government of Nagaland will bring immense relief to the stranded individuals as well as their anxious families back home,” the statement read.

Reiterating its commitment to the welfare of Naga students across the globe, the NSF urged the Chief Secretary for consideration and prompt action on this urgent humanitarian matter.
