In a video message released earlier; the Chief Minister had said that lockdown cannot be extended indiscriminately. “We cannot keep extending the lockdown and there has to be a full stop to this soon. It is only in people’s hands. There can be a full stop to the spread of COVID-19 only if restrictions are followed completely,” Stalin said. 

The Tamil Nadu government is planning to frame new guidelines for online classes for arts and science colleges and colleges of education to prevent any form of harassment to the students, ToI reports.
