Srinagar, Sept 22 (KNS): Day after authorities’ reopened schools across Jammu and Kashmir after long spell of Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, several parents of north Kashmir on Tuesday alleged insufficient teaching staff in the area and appealed authorities to look into the matter for the bright future of students.
According to Kashmir News Service (KNS), several educational institutes including GHSS Qalamabad, HSS Sanzipora and HSS Haril are having acute dearth of teaching staff due to which educational affairs have been affected badly there.
