It has been a week since schools in the city reopened from Stds VIII to XII. But for students at many junior colleges in the city, it is still study from home, due to travel constraints. In a city like Mumbai, many students have opted for colleges far from their residences. Local trains have been a saviour for them just like for lakhs of Mumbaikars.

Hence some junior colleges have even put their reopening on hold.
