"We have decided to extend the vacation as the shutdown is going on. We have not given any time-frame as to when the schools will reopen. As soon as normalcy returns in the hills, we will inform parents and reopen schools," Principal of St. Joseph's North Point, Father Shanjumon told PTI.
Father Shanjumon is a member of the Darjeeling ICSE Schools Association. St. Joseph's North Point is a prominent boarding school in the Darjeeling Hills.
