Schools reopen today after 8 Months across Kashmir
Schools had to be shut, following protests by locals and clashes with security forces in retaliation to Hizbul commander’s killing on July 8.
All schools in Kashmir reopened today after an on and off break for eight months, due to the unrest the Valley found itself in after Burhan Wani’s encounter.
Schools had to be shut, following protests by locals and clashes with security forces in retaliation to Hizbul commander’s killing on July 8.
Midway the protests, over 19 schools were torched by assailants, after which a complete clampdown was ordered by the state government.
Some schools in snow-covered areas will reopen around March 12.
