New Delhi: The Indian Embassy in Kyrgyzstan has urged Indian students to remain indoors following a series of attacks on foreign students.
This advisory came in the wake of several attacks on students from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, sparked by videos of a fight between Kyrgyz and Egyptian students that surfaced online on May 13, according to reports in the media.
“We are in touch with our students. The situation is presently calm, but students are advised to stay indoors for the moment and get in touch with the Embassy in case of any issues. Our 24×7 contact number is 0555710041,” said the Embassy on X.
Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar said that they are “monitoring the welfare of Indian students in Bishkek. Situation is reportedly calm now. Strongly advise students to stay in regular touch with the Embassy."
The Embassy and the Ministry of External Affairs were closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety and security of Indian students.
