On Friday, CM Captain Amarinder Singh announced that the Punjab Govt will appeal against the HC ruling, allowing private schools to charge fee from students for the lockdown period.
"It is unfair to charge fee from parents when schools are closed," CM said, adding that the state would soon file a review petition against the HC order on this issue.
Captain Amarinder Singh said that his Govt had taken the right decision by restricting private schools from charging any fee when students were not being taught by schools.
Asserting that the health & safety of the children were of paramount importance, he ruled out the opening of the schools without getting a clean chit from medical experts.
When asked to comment on the Patiala demonstration by some parents demanding the opening of schools, CM said in a video press conference that he will not compromise the health of the children at any cost.
"I will not open schools until I get medical advice on this," he said.
