Chandigarh: The Punjab Government will appeal against the High Court ruling allowing private schools to charge fee from students for the lockdown period, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh announced on Friday.

Asked to comment on the Patiala demonstration by some parents demanding opening of schools, Captain Amarinder said at his video press conference that he will not compromise the health of the children at any cost. “I will not open schools until I get medical advice on this,” he added.

“It is unfair to charge fee from parents when schools are closed,” he said, adding that the state would soon file a review petition against the High Court order on this issue.
