Amid spike in Covid cases, publicity hungry J&K admin putting lives of students at stake 1/12/2022 11:27:52 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Jan 12: Amid an unprecedented spike in COVID cases in the Union Territory, the publicity-hungry Jammu and Kashmir government is going to put the lives of hundreds of students at stake. The administration has directed all schools to call students for the Republic Day parade. Heads of the schools have been asked to call students for community classes and also started preparations for Republic Day. Interestingly the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Sunday had issued fresh guidelines, including the adoption of online classes up to college level, and optimal use of virtual mode for conducting official meetings. The decision to this effect was taken by the State Executive Committee (SEC) which met under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary A K Mehta at Jammu, retaining the already issued restrictions for Covid containment, including night curfew across the Union territory. On the one hand, the Jammu and Kashmir Government has announced to go back to online classes in all educational institutions on the other hand students are asked to hold various cultural and other items during Republic Day functions. Failure to deliver good governance to the residents of Jammu and Kashmir, the present government is now trying to give a message to the Union Government by organizing Republic Day functions amid a spike in coronavirus cases and Omicron. In the order issued Sunday night after a detailed review of the COVID-19 situation, Chief Secretary Arun Kumar Mehta, who is also the chairperson of SEC, said it was observed that there was a need for additional measures besides continuing with the existing coronavirus containment measures in all districts in view of the uneven trend observed in daily Covid cases as well as rising positivity rate. As regards the education institutions, the order directed all colleges, schools, polytechnics, and coaching centres for civil services, engineering, and NEET to adopt the online medium of teaching.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
