Planning to open Inter Colleges, Colleges and Universities- LG Sinha

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a function at SKICC in the banks of Dal Lake, LG Sinha said, the government was fully aware of the demands of parents regarding the reopening of schools in Kashmir. LG Sinha said, "We are planning to open inter colleges, colleges and universities this month, only after vaccinating all the students above the age of 18 years. After colleges and universities, the government will also consider reopening primary and secondary schools.
