Jammu Tawi, August 29
The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Sunday granted permission to higher educational institutions to resume offline classes provided all staff members and students are fully vaccinated.
The administration, however, extended the closure of schools and coaching centres till further orders.
It also decided to dispense with the mandatory testing for Covid at the entry point to the UT at Lakhanpur for those who have received both dosages of vaccine and allow entry of vaccinated persons into public parks.
The decisions were taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Secretary AK Mehta.
It was decided to retain most of the Covid containment guidelines, including night curfew, and the District Magistrates were directed to ensure that there was compliance with Covid-appropriate behaviour and defaulters were dealt with under the Disaster Management Act and the IPC.
