Closure of schools and colleges is nothing new for people in the valley, Only recently schools were reopened after months of closure.
Whatever may be the cause but it is very much unfortunate to see that the children in the valley are deprived of their education. Govt should think over.
If municipality thinks so..based on the ground facts..then they should do so..Nobdy should express unreal concerns
Well done sir
Outmost important to ensure all precautions /safety measures are taken to safeguard children.
Safety comes first.
