All educational institutions still prohibited to open: MHA

Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday night denied the reports which claimed that MHA has permission to all the states to open the schools.

“No such decision has been taken by the MHA. All educational institutions are still prohibited to open, throughout the country,” tweeted the MHA spokesperson.

The clarification came after some reports in the media were doing the rounds that MHA has given permission for re-opening of schools.

All schools, colleges and other higher educational institutions have been closed since the first lockdown that was announced by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi from March 25.

India is currently witnessing the fourth phase of the lockdown, that is likely to end on May 31.
