Play schools, kindergarten to reopen in Tamil Nadu from Nov 1

Chennai, Oct 15

Play schools and Kindergarten will reopen in Tamil Nadu from November 1 onwards. Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M.K. Stalin announced this on Thursday.

The state government has also allowed temples in the states to open on all days, which were earlier allowed to open from Monday-Thursday only. The BJP has conducted massive protests across the state against the temples remaining closed on weekends while Tasmac liquor shops were open on all days.

The state government has directed all employees of kindergartens, plays schools and Anganwadis to get vaccinated before November 1.

Dr. Uma Maheswari, social scientist and professor at a private college in Chennai said, "Reopening of Kindergartens and play schools are good. Children need to interact with their classmates and teachers physically. However, we should not let our guards down as it is a dangerous disease and the pandemic can come back. So teachers and other staff at these play schools and kindergartens have to be well aware of the pitfalls and act accordingly." IANS
