“They need not worry about their stay and studies as the university will take all necessary measures to ensure their safety, security, and comfortable stay at the university campus,” he said.
During a meeting here with the University Proctor Prof Mohammad Waseem Ali on Saturday, the Afghan students had said they faced some problems due to the political instability in their country but were receiving all help from the university administration. They expressed a deep sense of gratitude towards the Government of India and the University administration for all the facilities they had received after the recent political upheaval in Afghanistan.
