nOOK A ONE-POT MEAL

NEWDELHI: The Centre on Monday informed the Delhi high court that it has made efforts to provide appropriat­e medical and other assistance to the 581 Kashmiri students stranded at a medical college in Bangladesh.

Central government standing counsel Jasmeet Singh informed a bench of justices Sanjeev Sachdeva and Navin Chawla that nodal officers are making all efforts to ensure that none of the Indian citizens face any problem in any country. The submission­s come while hearing a plea by advocate Gaurav Bansal, who sought direction to the Ministry of External Affairs to evacuate the students.

Bansal also sought to appoint nodal officers in all the Indian embassies and make public their contact numbers and email addresses so that Indian citizens outside the country can contact them and seek help. Following this, the bench asked the Centre to file a status report while also directing to ensure that students are getting the basic amenities.
