Former Punjab Chief Minister and chief of Punjab Lok Congress Amarinder Singh on Monday sought personal intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek return of about 500 students from Punjab, stranded in different places in war-torn Ukraine.
He also asked the Punjab government to appoint a nodal officer who can coordinate with the Central government and the Ministry of External Affairs for the speedy return of the students.
Although the Punjab government has set up a dedicated phone number, it is yet to appoint any nodal officer for the purpose so far, he said.
