No one will be left behind, DC Srinagar to J&K youth stranded in Bangladesh

Srinagar: Asserting that all the medical students stranded in Bangladesh will be evacuated, Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar, Shahid Iqbal Choudhary on Sunday said that bulk purchase of tickets by J&K administration is being done to avoid individual inconveniences.
He said all Srinagar-bound medical students in Bangladesh should not worry or panic as each one of them will be brought back home.
“All Srinagar-bound Medical Students in Bangladesh, pl don’t worry or panic. Each one of you will be home InShaAllah. 322 tickets booked today. More to follow. NONE will be left behind. Bulk purchase of tickets by us is to avoid individual inconveniences,” Dr Choudhary wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
The Srinagar DC was responding to a tweet which read, “We are here students of EMC Bangladesh. We got confirmation on flight two to fly from Dhaka but four students here are not in the list. They got an email to book business class tickets which is not affordable. So we request you to please intervene in this matter.”
The first direct flight carrying 168 medical students, who were stranded in Bangladesh amid country-wide lockdown to curtail the spread of Coronavirus, arrived at Srinagar International Airport on Friday afternoon.
Officials said more such flights are also being readied by the authorities to facilitate other Kashmiris as part of the ‘Operation Vande Bharat – A homecoming’, India’s massive repatriation operation to bring home its citizens stranded abroad. Bangladesh has around 550 medical students from Kashmir, who study in various government and private medical colleges in Dhaka and Mymensingh.
