Special parent-teacher meetings (PTM)  will be organized in all schools located in Delhi’s northeast district and adjoining areas of Delhi on March 4-5 to talk and assure parents about the wellbeing of their children.

In the latest guidelines, the education department of the Delhi Government has asked school heads and principals to keep a record of the students from the Delhi's violence-hit northeast who were not able to appear for Board exams.

It has also asked the students to stay connected with their school after March 7 and ask for the latest updates on CBSE exams to be held again. Students can also contact the school head for books, stationery, and other material.
