“We are a small State of different communities who have coexisted for centuries and have maintained a strong bond. The nature of the violence that has recently transpired can only serve to destabilise the harmonious existence among us. It is extremely appalling that the State and its machineries have completely failed to take timely preventive measures to avoid violence of this scale,” the press statement said.
Sensing imminent danger in the violence-hit State where a communal fall out would be catastrophical, the students community said, any further continuation of the violence can be detrimental not only to the peaceful co-existence of the people, but can also cause a huge challenge in maintaining peace and order of the State in the future.”
