Surat: Offline teaching started in a number of city schools for Class IX-XI under Covid-19 guidelines with 50% capacity from Monday. Sources said that about 75% of the students who had submitted their parents’ consent letters attended the classes in schools run by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB).
The students were strictly told to adhere to Covid-19 guidelines like wearing a face mask, sanitizing hands and maintaining social distance.
“I enjoyed meeting classmates in the classroom after almost a year. Attending a class offline after such a long time was fantastic,” said Daksh Ambaliya, a Class XI (commerce) student from Ashadeep School.
Six-month-old Priyanka Mahida
SURAT: Snuggled in her sleep between her young parents, six-month-old Priyanka will never understand why her sleep that night was so rudely disturbed, or ever understand the miraculous ways of destiny. While both her parents mother Rajila Mahida, 25, and father Vikesh, 27 were crushed to death by the truck late on Monday night, the infant woke up to a harsh orphaned reality the next morning, bawling for care and attention. Another girl from the migrant workers’ family consoled the weeping infant and lulled her to sleep.
Priyanka’s custody was later taken by some elders from the terrified family who left the spot sometime later in the day along with the girl. They are likely to have started the journey to their native village in Banswara district of Rajasthan.
