The Manipur Government is likely to review the order issued on Tuesday to reopen the schools and colleges from Wednesday since the authorities could not implement it.
There are disturbing reports that students in some hostels in Churachandpur district have tested COVID-19 positive. Reports say some hostels and private schools in the hill district were reopened without the approval from the Government. The district authority has been instructed to take appropriate action against these schools.
Official reports say at least 17 students in a private hostel have tested positive for COVID-19.
After a high-level meeting on Tuesday, Chief Minister N. Biren told presspersons that the schools will be reopened for students of class nine and above in a week. The Education Department issued an order saying they would be reopened from Wednesday.
Official reports say most of the institutes could not be reopened on Wednesday due to lack of time. THE T.G. higher secondary school located next to the Raj Bhavan cannot be reopened unless the COVID-19 testing centre in the school is shifted elsewhere.
