Updated on: Monday, August 13, 2012

Assam government will make arrangements to hold special classes for students in relief camps in trouble-torn BTAD and Dhubri districts where schools are scheduled to reopen on August 16, Education and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

"Special classes will be held for student inmates in the camps till the inmate families are rehabilitated in their homes," he told reporters.

Educational institutions should open by August 16 as students had suffered immensely due to the violence and classes will be held in the relief camps, which are mainly housed in schools and colleges of the affected districts, he said.

Relief camps are housed in 258 schools in BTAD, including 71 in Kokrajhar and 32 in Chirang, while there are 11 in Bongaigaon and 144 in Dhubri outside the BTAD.
