According to the order issued by the education department, schools affiliated with all boards, including UP Board, CBSE Board, and others, in the district will remain closed from nursery to 12th grade on Monday and Tuesday. This holiday will be effective until January 13. The District Inspector of Schools clarified that this decision has been taken on the instructions of the District Magistrate, as dense fog and zero visibility are expected in the coming days.

Pre-board examinations or practical examinations will be conducted as per the scheduled program

However, the order also clarifies that schools where pre-board examinations or practical examinations are already scheduled will be able to conduct these activities as per their planned schedule. This means that examination-related work has been excluded from this holiday.

Meanwhile, as soon as the holiday was announced in schools, many educational institutions began sending information to students and parents about conducting online classes, so that their studies would not be affected. On Sunday, the maximum temperature in the district was recorded at approximately 20 degrees Celsius, and the minimum temperature was 7 degrees Celsius.
