Nagpur: In view of the steady increase in the cases of coronavirus, physical classes for classes I to VIII have been suspended once again in Nagpur rural and urban schools with immediate effect on Wednesday.
No one-time reopening date has been given by the civic and district authorities, however, these classes will continue only in online mode till at least the date of 31st January. The physical classes for classes IX to XII will continue as per the existing norms in both rural and urban parts.
