Delhi schools up to class 5 to remain closed for next 5 days due to cold weather
Due to cold weather, Delhi schools up to class 5 will remain closed for the next 5 days.
The Delhi government earlier reversed a directive about the extension of winter vacation in schools across the national capital. It was reverted shortly after its issuance. The Department of Education clarified that the earlier order, which extended the winter break, was issued by mistake. A decision on the matter was supposed to be reached on January 8.
The revised order stated, “Order No.DE.23(3)/Sch.Br./2024/18 dated: January 6, 2024, regarding the extension of Winter Vacation stands withdrawn with immediate effect. Further instructions on this matter may be issued in due course,” as reported by ANI.
The Arvind Kejriwal government, in its previous order, extended the winter break until January 10 for all government-aided and unaided recognised private schools in the national capital territory (NCT) citing ‘extreme cold waves and IMD’s yellow alert’.
On January 6, overcast and foggy conditions affected Delhi people with the daytime peak temperature reaching only 15.2 degrees Celsius and the early morning low settling at 8.9 degrees.
