Maharashtra govt announces reopening of schools for classes 1-12

Maharashtra schools, which were shut earlier this month due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the state, will resume for students in grades 1 to 12 on January 24, according to School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad. The announcement comes just days after Health Minister Rajesh Tope stated that the state administration will decide whether or not to resume physical education sessions across the state in the next 10-15 days.
