College heads told to take steps to comply with pandemic norms
Educational institutions functioning under the Higher Education Department, including engineering colleges, are set to resume offline classes in full swing on Monday.
It is after nearly 18 months since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that the classes of all semesters are held simultaneously on campuses in the State.
Higher Education Minister R. Bindu instructed university and college heads to adopt necessary steps to comply with the pandemic norms. The availability of handwash, sanitiser, masks and thermal scanners must be ensured.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
