Students of civic-run schools are set to get new uniforms after September. While the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation decided to change uniforms during the third week of May, officials said it is difficult to supply new uniforms before September. There is also a delay in distributing other educational items to students this year.

“As the BMC started CBSE, ICSE schools, the administration decided to change the old uniform. A decision was taken in May and it took a few weeks to finalise the design of the new uniform. We added a necktie with a new coloured uniform,” said the official.
