NEW DELHI : Amid reports that the central government has allowed schools to open during lockdown 4.0, the ministry of home affairs has clarified that no such decision has been taken so far. "Claim: MHA permits all States to open schools.
Fact: No such decision taken by MHA. All Educational institutions are still prohibited to open, throughout the country," home ministry said.
The statement by the home ministry spokesperson came after a section of media reported that the ministry has given permission to all states to open schools.
All educational institutions have been shut since mid-March, some of them from March 25 when the nationwide lockdown started, to contain the spread of coronavirus pandemic.
