Coaching Centre In Cuttack Sealed For Violating Covid-19 Norms

The enforcement squad of the Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) sealed a coaching centre in the city for allegedly violating Covid-19 norms on Thursday.

CMC sources said the civic authorities found students at AR Creation Coaching centre flouting the pandemic safety protocols during checks at its premises at Link Road.

Terming violating the Covid restrictions by educated and young people as unfortunate, an official said, " Covid is presently in its peak, and students from several areas, including containment zones, might be attending tutorial classes. That is the reason why the government has directed to shut all the physical classes.”

The Odisha government had ordered for the closure of all schools, colleges and technical educational institutions other than medical colleges and nursing colleges from January 10.
