Canteens and stores on the IIEST campus in Shibpur are set to reopen on Monday, said an official of the institute.

The four canteens on the campus and the stores have been ordered to reopen “with immediate effect” as employees have been attending office since February 22.

An order signed by the acting registrar on February 25 contains instructions for reopening of the canteens and shops.

The official said all teachers and other employees have been asked to attend office on the campus.

“We have decided to reopen the canteens so that these employees don’t face any inconvenience,’’ said Nirmalya Bhattacharyya, the deputy registrar (academic) and PRO. The canteens have remained shut since March last year with the onset of the lockdown.

An official of the institute said the research scholars and postgraduate students had also been brought to the campus in compliance with Centre’s guideline and they, too, would need canteens.

“The canteens and the stores have been sanitised. They will reopen tomorrow,” the official said.
