‘If Corona infection increase, educational institution would be shut again’

Urging the students to prepare themselves to pull the country forward, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that if the coronavirus infection increases, the educational institutions would be shut again.

The prime minister said this while opening the newly installed Mural of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and laying the foundation stone of Joyeeta Tower at Osmani Memorial Auditorium, joining virtually from her Official residence Ganabhaban on Wednesday (December 1).

She said it has to keep in mind that Coronavirus didn't go away fully rather a new variant (Omicron) is approaching, adding, any time it could spread out which might force the authorities concerned to close the educational institutions again.

The premier urged the demonstrating students to go back to educational institutions relinquishing vandalism, saying vehicles vandalism is not the job of students as law enforcement agencies are chasing the offenders to expose them to punishment.
