He was accompanied by additional chiefs secretary (Information) Navneet Sehgal, principals secretary (DIPR) Sanjay Prasad and district magistrate of Lucknow Abhishek Prakash. He interacted with the kids and asked them to take necessary precautions while also enjoying the reopening of schools and meeting friends.
