In addition to ensuring the accommodation of Nepalese students within the institute’s hostel for the smooth operation of their classes, the embassy also urged for necessary arrangements to be made for facilitating classroom activities.
According to a press release issued by the embassy, the educational institution has committed to accommodating students in the hostel as per the embassy’s request and ensuring the management of classroom activities accordingly. The institute has also expressed a serious commitment to conducting an impartial and thorough investigation into the unfortunate death of Nepalese student Prakriti Lamsal.
Regarding this incident, the Nepalese Embassy has maintained continuous communication with the Central Government of India, the Chief Minister’s Office of Odisha, and other relevant Indian authorities. They have emphasized the ongoing cooperation and coordination with these entities to provide necessary support and assistance. Affected Nepalese students and their parents have been advised to maintain contact with the embassy in case they encounter any issues.
