With the TMC having started the process of taking over of the educational institutes including colleges and schools for use as corona care centres to meet the growing demand of positive patients since last few days, MNS' chief for the twin districts of Thane and Palghar Avinash Jadhav warned the TMC from taking over the educational institution premises for use as the CCC.

He said that once the schools reopen, the students will be scared to attend the classes as it has been used for the corona patients. causing mental agony for the students, he claimed.

The government has reserved 80 per cent of the beds in the private hospitals, which the Corporation can very well take over for the purpose, he said in a video.

He warned that if the Corporation goes ahead and takes over the institutes, then hie paty would launch a serious agitation, along with the parents of the students.

In a related development, a couple of days back, the civic officials, accompanied by a posse of policemen, had barged into the educational complex of the VPM here and took over eight of its buildings for starting the CCC there.

A petition has been launched on social media in support of the institute, president of the VPM Dr Vijay Bedekar told the media today.
