JAMMU — Schools in five border districts of the Jammu region reopened on Thursday after an eight-day closure triggered by Indo-Pak tensions, bringing relief to students, teachers, and parents. However, institutions located close to the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border remain shut as a safety measure.
According to officials, schools resumed in selected zones of Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Rajouri, and Poonch based on local security assessments. The reopening was marked by peace-themed assemblies and emotional reunions among students.
“We were confined indoors during the shelling. Returning to school feels like a return to life,” said Rita Khera, a student from Jammu.
Teachers echoed the sentiment, stressing that offline classes offer better engagement. “It’s a relief to be back. Online classes can’t match the connection we have in physical classrooms,” said a teacher, Ragni Datta.
The Directorate of School Education issued zone-wise reopening orders, directing school heads and Zonal Education Officers to enforce safety protocols and coordinate closely with authorities.
Schools had been shut as a precaution during the recent cross-border hostilities.
