Day-time curfew relaxation continues across Kashmir; students stay away despite administration's order to reopen schools
FirstpostSrinagar: The authorities on Wednesday continued with day-time relaxations across Kashmir, while students stayed away from schools despite the administration’s order of the reopening of educational institutions up to the middle classes across the Valley. Most of the schools, especially private-run institutes, wore deserted look as no student turned up to attend the classes even as a few staff members joined duties at some of these institutions, the officials said. But, the government’s assurances of putting in place all necessary arrangements for the smooth functioning of the educational institutions found no takers and students stayed home on Wednesday as well. Addressing an evening presser here, Principal Secretary, Planning and Development, Rohit Kansal, who is also the government’s spokesperson, said day-time restrictions were lifted from 136 police stations out of the total 197 across Jammu and Kashmir.
