In light of the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, the Assam government has taken certain measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its students studying across the country.

In an official notification issued on Saturday, May 10, the Office of the Resident Commissioner at Assam Bhawan in New Delhi announced the activation of a 24×7 emergency helpline and designated contact persons to support students from Assam residing outside the state.
