Some private schools have put off reopening to November citing logistical reasons
Lower primary schools across Mysuru district reopened on Monday. They recorded 58.17 percent attendance.
However, some private schools are reopening only after Deepavali in November as they have sought time to make arrangements. Classes for students of standard 1 to V are restarting after a gap of nearly 19 months.
Soon after the government’s decision on physical classes, the schools, especially those run by the government, had started preparations with the cleaning of classrooms and sanitization of the premises as per the recommended SOPs.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
