    I request our dear elected representatives to put pressure on the government not to encourage wide scale opening specially of schools and colleges. If schools and colleges reopen, there will too much pressure on our hospitals. The vulnerable specially the elders will be at risk. I request you not to reopen schools and colleges till vaccines are available. Please continue with online classes if possible. Please protect lives of the citizens.
