A few parents whom City Spidey spoke to said, “The district administration has taken the right decision to keep schools closed, as the situation has not stabilised yet and can worsen after the quantum of sentence is handed out on Monday."
“I am happy that the school is closed, as it's an uncertain situation and young kids have to be kept safe," said a parent of a child studying in Delhi Public School.
School authorities, too, have responded positively to the government decision.
