The whole world is once again in a state of chaos due to fast spread of the fresh stain of deadly covid-19. Daily thousands of people get infected and consequently threat of virus is once again panicking the hapless populations across the world . In India more than 90k people’s get infected every day but instead of proper guidance/guidelines , what the administration is doing. In Srinagar district alone more than two hundred people get infected . Instead of proper guidelines to stop public gatherings, insisting everyone to follow sops, the Jammu and Kashmir Government allows public gatherings as it allows people to attend programs held for boosting tourism, trade and economy. In order to reduce the rate of infection the government shuts down schools, and irony is that while in schools the students follow proper guidelines , the orders on covid control measures are reduced to few sheets of papers only. Despite knowing that school students and as well as teachers follows covid guidelines the government instead of closing public parks, gardens has ordered closure of schools and the sufferers again are the poor . We kashmiri Students have seen a lot and we suffered a lot but what administration is asking us to do is very unfortunate. Instead of closing gardens they close our schools, we known what could be their next target , most probably closure of all educational institutions, like colleges, universities.
Let the government understand that we students are conscious about this pandemic and we as student assure the government that we will follow every guideline but don’t push us into a state of chaos by confusing us with the orders which will neither boost economy nor improve the education .
What will we do in such a situation , I am a professional student ,what will I learn if this sorry state of affairs continues. To reduce this virus , administration should close all gardens where people don’t follow sops , do’t follow guidelines. Don’t target educational institutions, we have seen a lot. Unfortunately the government under the garb of promoting tourism plays with the future of poor students. Such government decisions disturb our mind and ultimately become cause of our depression , what will we do , what will be next step of the government , how to spend time with online class , every time our mind is disturbed , we poor students are always in choas and confusion. Let the government understand that we students are conscious about this pandemic and we as student assure the government that we will follow every guideline but don’t push us into a state of chaos by confusing us with the orders which will neither boost economy nor improve the education .
