Bhubaneshwar: Amid the uprising cases of Covid-19 and Omicron fear, the state government’s decision to reopen schools for class 1 to 5 students from next month may be revoked as per the information of the Director of the Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET).

The State has witnessed a rise in Covid-19 cases in the last 7 to 8 days. “The decision to reopen schools might have taken earlier when the cases were not much and Omicron fear was also not there,” said DMET Director Rama Raman Mohanty.

By taking into account the present situation, the decision to reopen schools might be changed, said Mohanty adding, “The government will take an appropriate decision at the right time.”

Mohanty further said, The DMET further said speculations are rife that the third wave may hit in February. “We have to remain alert. Around 55000 to 60000 tests are being done daily. A target has also been set to achieve 70000 tests a day,”

The State School and Mass Education Minister Sameer Dash on Tuesday informed about the government’s decision to reopen classes for primary school students from standard 1 to 5 from January 3, 2022.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
