Authorities have said that they will take action against ten schools in Hyderabad for functioning today despite the order that all educational institutions shall be shut down until March 31.

"Inspection squads have found that ten schools in Hyderabad have flouted a government order regarding the closure.  VIP International Schoo (Saidabad), Spring Field School (Charminar), Shireen Public School (Secunderabad), three schools in Shaikpet, two in Gunfoundry, and one each in Abids and Bahadurpura.  Action will be initiated against them for disobeying the government order," a public statement issued by authorities today said.

It's deplorable that schools, which ought to teach children to be law-abiding, have been caught breaking an emergency rule.
