Schools re-open in Kashmir after nearly 32 months

Srinagar| March, 2 : After nearly 32 months, schools  reopened across Kashmir Valley from Wednesday (March 2, 2022) from classes 6 to 12th. First, it was due to security reasons, then the Covid-19 epidemic that kept kids away from the schools in the Valley.
The order to reopen all schools was issued by the J&K State Disaster Management Committee after reviewing the Covid situation in the region. Not only kids but parents too seem happy.“It’s a huge relief. I just can’t believe schools will be reopening in Kashmir and our children will be back in classes,” said a parent. Soon after the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A in August 2019, the schools were shut citing security situation. Then they were again closed after the Covid outbreak. Some schools have even decided to celebrate the first week as a “week of joy” and many programs will be conducted during this week in schools to entertain the students.
