Telangana Govt to Issue Separate Orders for Opening of Schools and Cinemas

The Telangana government, while issuing Unlock 5 guidelines Wednesday, said it would issue separate orders regarding the date of opening of schools and coaching institutions as well as cinemas, theatres, multiplexes, entertainment parks and other public places. In its latest order, the government said that online or distance learning shall continue-to be the preferred mode of teaching and ‘shall be encouraged’ in colleges and Higher Education Institutions.

Only those Higher Education Institutions with research scholars (Ph.D.) and postgraduate students of technical and professional programmes requiring laboratory or experimental works are permitted to open from October 15

For centrally funded higher education institutions, the institute head will satisfy the genuine requirement of research scholars (Ph.D.) and postgraduate students in the science and technology stream for laboratory or experimental works. All other higher education institutions like state and private universities may open only for research scholars and postgraduate students in the science and technology stream requiring laboratory/experimental works, said the order.

The government has allowed the opening of swimming pools being used for training of sportspersons from October 15, for which SOPs will be issued by the government. Similar separate orders will also be issued for the opening of Business to Business (B2B) exhibitions which will be permitted from October 15.IE
