However, the decision on whether to reopen educational institutions rests with the states and Union Territories (UTs).

Diwali will be celebrated mid-November.
Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray also instructed the school education department to take a review of online education being imparted to students since the last few months in view of the pandemic.
