The Goa government may decide on reopening of schools after a meeting with the state government’s task force, scheduled later on Tuesday, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said.

Talking to the media, he said: “There is a meeting of the task force today. We will take a decision after that.” Last week the state government’s expert committee on Covid management had recommended resumption of schools from Class I to Class VIII, based on inputs from paediatricians who are a part of the expert committee. The committee had recommended that the schools resume in hybrid — offline and online — mode.

The government’s task force is expected to deliberate on the recommendations made by the expert committee before taking a final decision on Tuesday regarding the resumption of schools. IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
