Schools, colleges in Kashmir except those in border districts reopen
Srinagar (PTI): All schools and colleges in Kashmir except those in the border districts reopened on Tuesday following a suspension of hostilities between India and Pakistan, officials said.
Education institutes in Kupwara, and Baramulla districts, and those in the Gurez sector of Bandipora would remain closed for now, they said.
According to the officials, Kashmir University will resume classes on Wednesday.
