Doha School withdraws message that earlier announced its closure at the end of 2019-20 academic year
Doha Modern Indian School, Qatar (DMIS) on Thursday evening withdrew their earlier message wherein they had announced the closure of the school on Wednesday. The move had triggered panic and uncertainty to the parents and students of the school. The school had announced that it would close all the operations at the end of current academic year (2019-20) and had urged parents to ensure seats for their kids at other schools for academic year 2020-21.
Parents of around 2400 students studying in the school were left in jeopardy after receiving the text message. The students also include nearly 300 Karnataka students.
However, another text message from the school management on Thursday evening brought the relief to the parents as the school withdrew the earlier message and announced that “School activities will progress as normal”.
The full text of the message read “Dear Parent, Consequent to our SMS dt 30th Oct 2019 and deliberations thereafter, we hereby withdraw the message and are happy to inform that the school activities will progress as normal. DMIS.”
It was not immediately clear as what led to the School sending message announcing its closure and how issues were addressed and resolved within 24 hours.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
