Ghaziabad: The Ghaziabad district administration on Wednesday night withdrew its earlier order mandating online classes in all schools on March 28, directing that classes will now be held offline.
The initial directive, issued a day earlier by District Magistrate Ravindra Kumar Madar, had cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to inaugurate the Noida International Airport at Jewar. It said around 800 buses were being arranged from Ghaziabad to transport beneficiaries, necessitating traffic management measures.
"To ensure the smooth conduct of the Prime Minister's programme and manage traffic arrangements, online classes will be conducted in all schools on March 28," the order had stated.
