As India this week extended a nationwide curfew till May 3, Sri Lankan students stranded all over India have appealed to the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) to take them back home.
A group of over 100 Sri Lankan students stranded at the Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Punjab are among those who have made a desperate appeal to the Sri Lankan authorities.
LPU is a private university situated in Phagwara, Punjab and is also one of India’s largest universities.
Students from India, other South Asian countries and Africa are following academic activities at the university.
However, with the spread of the Coronavirus the university has suspended academic activities and requested students at the hostel to return home.
A group of students from Bhutan were among the last to leave this week but 104 students from Sri Lanka and a few from Africa are among the few who still remain in the hostel and in rented rooms outside.
The safety of the students in the campus is now at risk after a female student had this week tested positive for the Coronavirus.
The student was identified as a Bachelor of Physiotherapy student from West Mumbai.
Indian media reports stated that Health officials and the Police have launched a large-scale drive to trace the people who came in contact with the patient.
Deputy Commissioner Deepti Uppal told the Indian media that the Police have sealed the LPU campus and no one will be allowed to move out till the medical examination is completed.
