‘Why such prolonged online classes Modi sahib?’ asks 6-year-oldMahira Irfan, 6, who studies in Class 1, has brought into the spotlight her media-shy family and the nondescript Maharajpura Colony in Srinagar’s Batamaloo area. Her video on taxing online classes during the pandemic forced the J&K administration to change its teaching policy this week. “My father told me that it’s Modi sahib who gets to decide on the lockdowns [related to the pandemic]. Our classes start at 10 a.m. and end by 2 p.m. Why such prolonged online classes Modi sahib?”Her appeal found a connect with the L-G Manoj Sinha. It also barred more than three hours of online classes for Classes 9 to 12.
