‘Decision will be made after submission of consolidated assessment’
Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Sunday that the government was taking a cautious approach on reopening of schools and would take a call only after obtaining an assessment report from the Education Department. “I have asked the School Education Department to hold consultations with stakeholders and submit a consolidated assessment by August 20. The decision will be made after that,” she told reporters shortly after unfurling the national flag at the Raj Nivas to mark the 75th Independence Day celebrations. Several festivals had been planned throughout the year to mark the special anniversary themed Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, she said. Planting of about 75,000 saplings was being undertaken across the Union Territory.
