Schools in WB to remain closed till June 30

The Bengal government has decided to extend the closure of schools up to June 30 after several school buildings suffered damage due to cyclone Amphan. Some others have had to be utilized as isolation centres for the returning migrant labourers. This is in addition to the ongoing threat due to the Covid-19, which is still a major concern for the administration. On Wednesday, education minister Partha Chatterjee said 462 among 1,058 schools spread across eight districts — which were earmarked as higher secondary exam centres — have been ravaged due to the cyclone.
