Meanwhile, the Punjab government said Monday it will start distributing smartphones to students for free on August 12. To avoid large gatherings, the launch of the distribution scheme will be organised at 26 different locations in Chandigarh and Punjab. Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said the government has chosen the auspicious occasion of 'Janmashtami' to launch the scheme. 

"Not more than 15 students studying in that town/district will be invited at each location for handing over the smartphones,” said a government statement. The state government had already announced to give smartphones to all boys and girls studying in Class 12 of the government schools across the state.
