‘’Today, I chaired a virtual meeting with all the Divisional Commissioners, the District Collectors and the Vice-Chancellors and reviewed the COVID-19 situation. The safety of students, parents, professors and staff was discussed at the meeting. A decision in this regard will be taken tomorrow at 4 pm,’’ said Samant.
