According to the teachers and students, the buildings were being used as quarantine centres and were still under the control of concerned department. The students were compelled to sit outside their class rooms.
As per government direction, high schools ought to resume studies from Tuesday but students of the above mentioned educational institutions found their classrooms locked when they arrived at their institutions.
The in-charge teacher of the Government Centennial High School said that they had informed the district administration to remove furniture and other commodities placed for the corona patients and clear their classrooms so that they could restart teaching activities but in vain.
Parents also expressed deep concern over the negligence of the administration and said presence of their children in coronavirus infected buildings could be a health hazard to them.
