In the capital of Uttarakhand, Dehradun, around twenty students fled at the airport on Wednesday following the warnings of Hindu Raksha Dal, a marginal right group.
Students said the group threatened Muslim students from cashmere with disastrous consequences if they did not leave the city immediately.
The chief minister of Jammu-et-Cachemire, Omar Abdullah, said that he was in contact with the governments of the States where the students felt dangerous, asking them to “take additional care”.
Former chief minister of cashmere, Mehbooba Mufti, also called on the Minister of the Interior of India, Amit Shah, to “intervene following certain elements openly threatening” traders and students.
The cashmere has been divided between India and Pakistan since their independence in 1947, both claiming the territory at high altitude in full but by governing distinct parts.
The rebel groups have led an insurrection in cashmere under Indian control since 1989, demanding independence or a merger with Pakistan.
Indian security forces have launched a large manhunt in cashmere for attackers, with a large number of people detained in the operation.
India accused Islamabad on Wednesday of supporting “cross -border terrorism” and of demarcating links with its neighbor with a series of diplomatic measures.
Pakistan denied any role in the attack on Pahalgam.
