Students feel safe after Amarinder’s assurance

Jammu/Srinagar, Feb 18

Kashmiri students who are staying in Mohali on Monday said they felt relieved by the assurance given by Punjab CM Capt Amarinder Singh regarding their security.

“We are staying inside our hostels and rented accommodation,” students studying in Mohali said.

A student said there were several gurdwaras in the vicinity which made them feel safe. “Also, our landlords are nice people so we do not feel threatened,” he said.

The students said the situation was calm but tension prevailed due to reports from other states, where Kashmiri students were harassed.

Another student in Mohali said “lots of Kashmiri students” from Dehradun had arrived in Mohali and were staying at gurdwaras. —TNS
