According to recent media reports, the situation in the capital city is now under control. The Indian embassy has also assured the same in a tweet on Sunday and asked the students to “follow the guidelines prescribed by authorities in the Kyrgyz Republic.” However, some student organisations continue to highlight what they refer to as a pathetic situation and shared several videos of distress which could not be authenticated.
