Students hold consent letters from their parents to attend school in Srinagar on 21, 2020 as schools reopened for Classes 9 to 12, but the entire responsibility for the safety of the students will be on the parents. In a bizarre move, the Directorate of School Education has devised an undertaking to be furnished by the parents, which puts the entire responsibility for the safety of children on the parents.
The undertaking also says that the parents will provide face masks, sanitizers and also ensure that the children do not wear any belts, rings, wrist watches, etc., those could become causes for the spread of the coronavirus infection.
