Amidst Omicron threat Punjab Schools to open on Monday
Chandigarh, 02 January 2022 : Amidst omicron threat looming large the Punjab government is all set to open schools without any vaccination for kids and half baked vaccination for teachers thereby putting the lives of kids in danger whereas schools in all neighbouring states of UP, Haryana and Delhi have already been closed.
At the time when schools must have remained closed to keep the children away from danger of Omicron, the whimsical decision of the government is raising suspicion in minds of people. This is must obvious as it is a well known fact that law enforcing agencies already had tough time in making the people abide by Covid protocol and it’s beyond imagination that how the children will follow the protocol. The biggest thing is that none of the children are vaccinated.
In such a scenario opening of schools specially for the kids amidst the predicted third wave can be disastrous. But apparently under some pressure probably from the school managements the government has decided to open schools. Though in papers the schools have to take consent of the parents before sending the kids to school.
The result is that panic prevails amongst the masses regarding the opening of schools. This is but obvious as reports of teachers and students falling prey to Omicron in several states is already pouring in. Opening of schools can play havoc with lives of students but an unmindful government seems to be least bothered about it.
