Negative RT-PCR report must for students and teachers coming in from Kerala
Offline classes for grade eight will begin from February 22 in Bengaluru (and other areas bordering Kerala) while sessions for grade six and above will start in the rest of the state from Monday.
The decision to resume classes above eight in Bengaluru was taken following two cluster outbreaks. Primary and Secondary Education Minister
S Suresh Kumar said that the decision was taken based on a recommendation from the technical advisory committee.
Those teachers and students coming from Kerala need to produce a
covid-19 negative report for attending classes.

About 10 acres of land in
Lakkasandra near Mico Layout, which was recovered from the encroachers last year, will become a solid
waste management hub. This marks the beginning of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s (BBMP) plan to set up waste processing plants in different neighbourhoods of the city, instead of transporting waste to peripheral areas.
