“The schools have reopened for classes 9 to 12. There have been no complaints so far,” DSPSMA president RC Jain said. “What is the harm in reopening for classes 6 to 8 now? We are waiting for the government order on this. We will stage a protest outside CM residence if a decision is not taken to reopen schools till September 24,” he added in a statement.

A decision on reopening for junior classes is yet to be taken by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, DDMA.
