Bandh Flops In Rural Salcete

Though the bandh was a success in Margao and Cuncolim, in rural Salcete it failed to evoke any response as  life continued to be normal specially in the schools where children attended classes on the first day of the new academic year.

In many of the schools, parents were given forms by the management which they had fill up to state their choice for the medium of instruction at the primary level.
Many parents disclosed that they would opt for English as the medium of instruction.
