After being closed five months back, the management of Hidden Sprouts Special School for Mentally Challenged Children has reopened the school near China Waltair, in a temporary accommodation. Classes are being conducted for about 80 students for the last 10 days. However, their woes continue due to lack of proper facilities at the premises.
