Guwahati: Schools and colleges in Manipur's valley districts, including Jiribam, resumed their respective classes on Friday.
The institutions had remained closed for 13 days, following govt orders, after fresh violence had rocked the state where six Meitei women and children, who were internally displaced, were abducted from Jiribam and killed by Kuki militants.
Officials of the education department said student turnout was significant, while expecting things to get normal in the upcoming days. The state govt has also relaxed curfew from 5 am to 4 pm across all the five valley districts and Jiribam.
The directorate of education schools and the higher and technical education department had ordered resumption of classes in Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur, Kakching, Thoubal and Jiribam districts on Thursday.
