KOLKATA: Anxiety, confusion, chaos and harassment reigned the first day of post-pandemic reopening of Salt Lake Shiksha Niketan on Friday. It all apparently started with at least two students allegedly going missing only to be found a couple of hours later but while the search was on, none of the schoolbuses could leave, leading to anxiety among parents, many of whom landed at school, looking for their children.
“No student went missing. Due to confusion, some students, who were supposed to go home by private vehicles, boarded schoolbuses. They were found on the vehicles,” said deputy commissioner (headquarters) of Bidhannagar City Police Surya Pratap Yadav.
