PIMPRI CHINCHWAD: In the latest order issued on November 28, Pimpri Chinchwad municipal commissioner Shravan Hardikar has said that civic and private schools located in the corporation limits will remain closed until December 13.
Earlier, schools were asked to remain shut until November 30. Hardikar said that since Covid-19 tests of a number of teachers remain pending, they have decided to further delay resumption of academic activities.
Mayor Usha Dhore said that there will be no haste in the resumption of classes at schools in the coming days. “We will review the Covid-19 situation on or before December 13 as well before deciding on whether to resume schools or delay reopening further,” she said.
Dhore added that many parents are still concerned about their wards’ safety, hence it will not be wise to resume schools rightaway.
Meanwhile, schools have been advised to comply with all safety guidelines that have been notified earlier.
