New Delhi: Congress leader Ajay Maken has criticised the Delhi government for proposing to reopen schools amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Maken also said that parents should not send their children to school unless a vaccine is developed.
He said this after Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia wrote to Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry on the issue. “Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said some time ago that we have to learn to live with coronavirus. So it would be better to open schools with proper safety measures,” Sisodia wrote.
Earlier, HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank had said that schools will open after August.
“A final decision in this regard will be taken only after assessing the prevailing conditions. After August, new sessions will also start in universities,” the minister said.
