Sticks, slippers, buckets fly as Northeast students, locals clash at Andhra college

A dispute over a missing mobile phone at SK College of Nursing in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, led to a confrontation between Northeastern students, primarily from Manipur, and local Telugu-speaking students. The conflict escalated after the phone was reported missing on August 21, prompting intervention by senior officials including the District Collector and Superintendent of Police. As a result, students from the Northeast were relocated to separate accommodations, and 31 students from other states were also moved to a separate hostel with their consent. The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, N Chandrababu Naidu, reviewed the incident and directed immediate action. Former Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh expressed appreciation for the authorities' swift response and the measures taken to ensure student safety.
