Schools Open On Sunday To Facilitate Chandrababu’s Tour On Monday

Eluru: Scores of schools remained open on Sunday and declared a holiday on Monday for chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu's visit to West Godavari.

In what is being described as a ridiculous direction, the state government instructed private schools to provide buses for the CM's visit on Monday.

In order to transport the people to these areas, TDP leaders decided to requisition private school buses. Therefore, the said direction for the schools to declare a holiday on Monday and the related permission to remain open on Sunday. Parents and people of West Godavari have expressed unhappiness at the strange directions of the state government.
