Schools in Mumbai closed for more than 700 days: Parents complaints authorities

A group of parents wants schools in Mumbai should be re-opened from Monday as it has been more than 700 days.

Schools in Mumbai should be, says a group of parents under 'Parent Association of Mumbai 2021' in alliance with MESTA (Maharashtra English School Trustees Association). The parents have written to the Maharashtra Chief Minister and the Commissioner of Brihanmumbai Municipal Commissioner. They are asking to reopen the schools urgently by Monday, January 24.

"Children of Maharashtra have suffered the most with schools being closed for 700 days and counting. While education should be an essential service like it is in other countries around the world, it has been more than distressing for citizens to see no importance given to education and children in Mumbai and Maharashtra,” said the letter written by parents to the Chief Minister.
