A video going viral on social media shows a family in Delhi hiring a band to celebrate the resumption of offline school classes. The band, in the clip, is seen performing outside the school premises as the family has apparently arrived to drop their child.
The joyous moment was captured by other parents who had come to drop their kids to the school.
Netizens who shared the video claimed it was recorded outside the Springdales School located in Dhaula Kuan locality of the national capital.

Schools in Delhi reopened for all classes from November 1 onwards. The decision was taken in view of the dwindling COVID-19 infection rate in the city. A cap of 50 percent on seating capacity has been imposed for junior classes.
Within days of in-person classes resumption, the Delhi government has decided to shut offline classes for a week, beginning from November 15. The decision has been taken due to the poor air quality in the capital city.
"For a week from Monday onwards, schools will be physically closed, to continue virtually so that children don't have to breathe polluted air," Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said.
