After charging the fees from the schools at the time of lockdown, the Chief Minister said that his government had taken the right decision not to charge any fees for the time that was not taught to private schools. He said, 'It is wrong to collect fees from parents when school is closed.' He said that a review petition will soon be put against the decision of the High Court on behalf of the state government.
