On May 13, dedicated columns were arranged, and the children were safely escorted back to their homes.
Principal Kom, along with the parents of the rescued students, expressed profound gratitude and appreciation for the Assam Rifles’ initiative. They acknowledged the exceptional efforts made by the security forces during these challenging times, emphasizing the critical role played by the Assam Rifles in ensuring the safe return of the visually impaired students and their dedicated staff.
