The Ministry of External Affairs on Friday stated that the government has increased its efforts to reach out to students in the US to provide Indian and Indian-origin students guidance and reassurance in🎐 response to recent rise in student deaths.
The MEA reportedly said, "There have been some unfortunate incidents resulting in the deaths of Indian students i𝔍n the US. These cases are under investigation. The embassy and consulates have extended all possible assistance."
"Such cases have been appropriately taken up with the US authorities to seek justice. We have also stepped up our student outreach to provide guidance and to reassure them of the support of the embass⭕y and consulate🌊s at all times," the MEA added.
11 Indi𝓰an and Indian-origin students died in the US since the beginning of January this year.
