New Delhi: The authorities at the Jadavpur University (JU) declared on Saturday that the institution will remain shut till May 3 owing to a sudden spike of COVID-19 cases in West Bengal.
According to JU Registrar Snehamanju Basu, only basic emergency services, required for giving logistical support to online classes and running administrative work on the virtual mode for the time being, will be run from the campus with the presence of very few staff who will be given all necessary protection to avert contamination, reported news agency PTI.
The institution will stay shut from April 24 to May 3, according to officials. “With the sudden rise, we need to break the chain. Hence the decision. We are also sanitising all the buildings and blocks in an extensive manner,” Ms Basu was quoted as saying by PTI.
