The PIL says that students up to the age of 18 years are yet to be vaccinated and physical classes would only increase the chances of Covid-19 transmission among them, putting their lives at risk.
Kolkata: Posing a threat to the West Bengal government`s decision to open the schools from November 16, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Calcutta High Court challenging the move, alleging that the state has decided to start classes from 9 to 12 "without any proper planning", exposing the students to Covid-19.
The PIL sought the formation of an expert committee for reviewing the Covid-19 situation and providing necessary recommendations to the government in the matter.
It said that students up to the age of 18 years are yet to be vaccinated and physical classes would only increase the chances of Covid-19 transmission among them, putting their lives at risk.
