Many students from Tamil Nadu, who are pursuing medical and other educational programmes in violence-hit Manipur, have expressed their unwillingness to return now when contacted to rescue them, the Tamil Nadu Government said on May 9.
However, it has arranged for flight tickets for five medical students, who wished to return to TN, it said. The five — two from Tiruvallur district and one each from Cuddalore, Thoothukudi and Virudhunagar districts — would arrive in Chennai airport tonight.
“Students pursuing medicine have said they were safe in their college hostels and have been preparing for ttheir college examinations and that they were not willing to return to Tamil Nadu now,” an official release said.
