Ahmedabad-based Dirgh Shukla, 22, is on tenterhooks. For his admission to an MTech degree, he was just readying to apply for a student visa when the tiff between India and Canada broke out.
“Diplomatic tensions between the two countries have made me worry a bit. I’m already halfway through the long process of going to university in Canada. Any snag right now will result in partial waste of my resources,” Shukla says.
