In a decisive move to safeguard young learners, authorities have ordered a temporary shutdown of schools across the district in response to harsh winter conditions. The directive impacts all educational institutions for students from nursery up to class 8.
Official Order Issued by District Magistrate
The closure was formally announced through an official order passed by District Magistrate Jitendra Pratap Singh. The order cites the prevailing severe cold wave and dense fog conditions as the primary reason for the decision. The city has been reeling under these challenging weather patterns, prompting administrative intervention.
Specific Dates and Scope of Closure
The shutdown is effective for two days: Friday and Saturday, January 9 and 10. The order explicitly states that all schools catering to classes from nursery to 8 must remain closed on these dates. The directive emphasizes that the step has been taken keeping in view the health and safety of the students, who are particularly vulnerable to extreme cold and poor air quality caused by fog.
Strict Compliance Directed
DM Jitendra Pratap Singh has directed that this order be followed strictly by all schools falling under the district's jurisdiction. The administration's priority is clearly to prevent health issues among children, such as cold-related illnesses, which can be exacerbated by exposure during travel and school hours in such weather.
This proactive measure highlights the administration's responsiveness to environmental challenges affecting daily life. Parents and guardians are advised to keep children indoors as much as possible and ensure they are dressed warmly. The closure allows families to adjust their schedules and prioritize children's well-being during this intense cold spell.
