Mangaluru, Sep 6: Even though second PU physical classes have successfully commenced in district, the district administration has not made up its mind on the question of reopening other classes. Therefore, in spite of the state government permitting holding of physical classes for sixth to eighth standards, offline classes for these standards will not be held for the time being.

Zilla panchayat chief executive officer, Dr Kumar, clarified that no decision has so far been taken about holding physical classes for 6th to 8th standards in the district so far. He said that even 9th and tenth standards will also not be opened for now. He explained that a decision will be taken after holding a meeting if the corona positivity rate continues to decline for several days.
