In response to the ongoing cold wave, authorities in Ghaziabad, Rajasthan, and other parts of India have decided to extend winter vacations for students. The extension is aimed at protecting students from the harsh weather conditions, as temperatures in many regions have dropped significantly over the past few days.
Schools in Ghaziabad and several cities in Rajasthan, including Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur, have announced that the winter break will be prolonged until January 16, 2025. This decision comes as the cold wave continues to sweep across northern and central India, with temperatures in some areas dipping to near freezing levels.
Key Points:
- Ghaziabad: Winter vacations have been extended due to the severe cold wave, and schools are expected to reopen after January 16, 2025.
- Rajasthan: Cities like Jaipur and Udaipur will remain closed until January 16, following the cold wave advisory.
- Other States: Similar measures have been adopted by various districts in states such as Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Haryana, where schools are also closed or vacations have been extended.
The extension aims to safeguard the health and safety of children, as the cold wave continues to disrupt daily life. Schools are likely to follow the guidelines set by local authorities to ensure students do not have to attend school during dangerously low temperatures.
Parents and students are advised to stay updated by checking official notifications from local education departments or school administrations for further updates on reopening dates.
