Declining COVID-19 cases brightens the prospect of reopening in Puducherry and Karaikal, she says
A decision on reopening schools in Puducherry and Karaikal, based on Tamil Nadu’s schedule of resuming classes from February 1, would be taken soon, Lieutenant Governor Tamilisai Soundararjan said on Friday.
After distributing artificial limbs to beneficiaries under the auspices of the Rotary Club of Pondicherry Beach Town and Pondicherry Eves, Ms. Soundararajan said COVID-19 cases were declining in the Union Territory and that brightened the prospect of reopening schools here.
Tamil Nadu, she noted, had decided to reopen schools and colleges from February 1 and had also done away with Sunday lockdown and night curfew. In this context, the Chief Minister and Education Minister will have a consultation on reopening of schools here as well, she said.
