Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday hosted 125 Kashmiri students on Eid and said he was confident that situation would improve in the Valley soon.
The students belonged to various universities of Punjab.
With curfew-like restrictions in place across the Valley, it was an Eid away from home for the students.
The normal life in the Valley has been hit following heavy security deployment and restrictions on the movement of people besides the suspension of telecom services after Parliament revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status under Article 370 of the Constitution.
The invitation from the chief minister for lunch at Punjab Bhavan here made it an occasion to cherish and feel at home, said many students.
Assuring them of their safety in Punjab, the chief minister said, "We cannot replace your families. But I hope you consider us as your family too."
