The last batch of Tripura students stranded in strife-torn Manipur returned home on Monday, an official said.
Sixteen students landed at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport here along with the Tripura government team sent for evacuating the stranded residents of the state.
With this, a total of 239 students from Tripura have been evacuated from Manipur in five batches, he said.
Meanwhile, air fares to all routes connecting Agartala have skyrocketed due to the ethnic flareup in Manipur.
An office-bearer of a private agency said air fares between Imphal and Agartala, which hovered at Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,500, has increased to Rs 9,000-Rs 10,000.
