Srinagar, Nov 3: Government on Wednesday informed J&K and Ladakh high court that it was proposing to shift from online to physical mode of education.
The statement was made by additional advocate general Shah Amir during the hearing of Public Interest Litigation, seeking direction to make available internet services for the students of Uri in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district and also provide access to telecommunication services to them.
In-alternate, the petitioner had sought directions to the government to setup internet and telephone kiosk in each halqa of Uri.
A division bench of Justices Ali Mohammad Magrey and Sanjay Dhar said that after the statement by AAG that the government is proposing to shift to physical mode of education, “the concern projected as regards the education of the children is taken care of.”
The AAG also submitted that a representation of the villagers on the subject was also being looked into by the officials. “In view of above, we dispose of this petition with the direction to the respondents (officials) to take due care of the education of the children of the area and take a decision on the representation stated to have been filed by the villagers on the subject within a reasonable dispatch,” the court said.
