Panaji, Jun 7 (IANS): Schools in physical mode resumed in Goa after a gap of two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic with students seen enjoying happy moments as they met their classmates and teachers.

Education Director Shailesh Zingade told IANS that no complaint of any sort was received from any school.

"After a long gap, the students went to school on Monday. They were very happy to meet their friends and teachers," Zingade said.
