Siddiqui said that they spent a sleepless night holed up in the basement of the apartment with water and basic food with sounds of airstrikes, firing, fighter jets and tanks roaming nearby making sure to keep them up in horror.
"We are scared," Siddiqui said, while making an appeal to the Indian government to come to their rescue as soon as possible, saying that they have very limited supplies left.
"Students won't be able to manage for many days now. We have limited supplies left. We will be out of food and water in a few days and we cannot go on like this for long," Siddiqui, a resident of UP's Ghaziabad said.
