But Chatterjee said all schools, "irrespective of their boards", had been informed that the state government would provide "all support" for them to remain open. They (the schools) could have consulted us before announcing the closure or suspension of the exams," the minister said. We expect them to hon- our our appeal and keep the institutions open tomorrow." "We will provide police protection to the institutions that seek help from us to stay open."
