Schools in Srinagar reopened on February 24 after nearly seven months. The schools got reopened in Valley after the abrogation of Article 370. School kids were excited to attend the school again. All arrangements had been put in place for the students to attend schools after the institutions remained shut for months since August after scrapping of its special status and due to winter break. The government had made several efforts last year to reopen the schools in a phased manner but it failed to bear any fruit as the parents kept their wards at home due to apprehension about their safety.
