Chennai: Amid confusion of the opening date of educational institutions in the State, Higher Education Secretary Apurva Varma today issued circulars to the Registrars of all universities and heads of colleges and polytechnics, informing them that the institutions will remain closed till 14 April.
The State government had earlier implemented Section 144 across Tamilnadu till 31 March. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi later announced a national wide lockdown till 14 April. This led to confusion over the reopening of educational institutes.
