Plea to CM on concerns raised by parents
The Council of CBSE Schools Kerala has requested Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to permit CBSE schools to reopen in a staggered manner in view of the concerns raised by parents in the primary sections about sending their children to the campuses from November 1.
The council welcomed the government decision to resume the academic session in the physical mode. However, its representatives pointed out that parents were apprehensive as they cited the high infection ratio prevailing in various places in the State.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
