Mangaluru, 09 Jul 2022: Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra on Friday warned the managements of engineering colleges that the district administration will take legal action against such institutions that conduct physical classes even after the District Magistrate has declared a holiday for all education institutes.

 

Chairing a meeting of principals of engineering colleges in his office here, the Deputy Commissioner said that action will be taken under the Disaster Management Act 2005.

 

 

“Once the District Magistrate issues an order, it is authentic and final. It will have to be followed compulsorily,” he told the college principals.

 

The Deputy Commissioner’s warning came in view of many engineering colleges conducting physical classes by violating his holiday orders issued this week as a precautionary measure for the safety of students after the government issued a red alert.

 

Dr. Rajendra said that the district administration has declared a holiday in view of heavy rain in the district and in the interest of students. The education institutes will have to follow it.
