“We are very concerned because the future of the students depends on it. I have been in continuous touch with different stakeholders including Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Last night, Minister Pradhan updated me about a possible resolution, and we hope to see a positive outcome today,” said CM Sangma.
