All recognized schools in Lucknow will operate between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. from Monday until January 10 for classes 1 to 8, as per the district court order.

Due to the severe cold conditions in Uttar Pradesh, all recognized schools in Lucknow will operate between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. from Monday until January 10 for classes 1 to 8, as per a district court order.

The step has been taken into consideration of the student’s interests and health, followed by the order.

“As per the district court’s order, all recognized schools are to be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for classes 1 through 8 in conviction of the cold wave in the state, from January 2 to January 10,” according to an official notice issued by the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Department on January 1.

On Sunday as well, the Sitapur District Magistrate (DM) issued an order extending holidays for students of classes 1 to 12 of all recognized schools in the district till January 4 because of the severe cold wave and excessive fog. “Strict compliance with the said order should be ensured,” DM Anuj Singh stated.

The order was immediately implemented to all schools in the Sitapur district through WhatsApp so parents could be informed on time.

The Gorakhpur DM also on Sunday directed the closure of government and other recognized schools from LKG to class 8 for two days on January 2 and January 3 because of the cold.

The weather department has predicted dense to very dense fog over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar until Thursday.

Due to northwesterly winds from the Himalayas over the plains of northwest India, minimum temperatures are likely to fall by 2-4 degrees Celsius over the northwest and adjoining central India during the next two days, the IMD forecast through Monday said.
