Schools and colleges in the Shivamogga district of Karnataka reopened on Monday, although rules prohibiting large gatherings remain in effect until March 4. The assassination of a 26-year-old Bajrang Dal member earlier this month sparked violent protests across the region, prompting the district administration to impose a curfew and close schools.
‘Since the Covid-19 pandemic, our learning has been impacted. As a result of Harsha’s murder, schools and universities have been shuttered for a week. We are glad that we will be able to attend offline sessions now that schools and institutions are reopening’ Nishkal, a first-year PU student, told news agency ANI.
Harsha, a 26-year-old Bajrang Dal member, was stabbed numerous times on February 20 and died as a result of his injuries.
