Watch | Primary schools reopen in Karnataka

Classes resume after 19 months
After 19 months, lower primary classes reopened on October 25. While government and aided schools welcomed students in standards I to V back to the classroom, many private schools have decided to defer the reopening after Deepavali.
The resumption of physical classes has come as a huge relief to a majority of parents, especially those who had enrolled their children in government and aided schools that did not have the infrastructure to conduct online classes.
Principals of private schools that have delayed the resumption of offline classes said they would do so only after taking consent from all parents.
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.
