Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Monday announced to reopen schools for classes 1 to 8 from July 5. Most students with whom PTI interacted were very happy to get back to school.

Class 1 student Linthoi said, "I am very happy. After a two-month wait, I will be able to meet my friends and teachers." She said the shutting down of schools had made her life boring.
