Patna Schools Reopen with Revised Timings

0

All schools in Patna up to class 8, which had been closed due to the cold weather, reopened today (January 20) with revised operating hours from 9 am to 3:30 pm for all classes until January 25, according to an order issued by Patna District Magistrate (DM) Chandra Shekhar Singh on Sunday.

Previously, the DM had suspended academic activities for classes up to 8 from January 5, citing the health risks posed by cold weather and low temperatures, particularly in the mornings and evenings. However, students from class 9 onwards were permitted to attend physical classes during the hours of 9 am to 3:30 pm.

The latest directive continues to restrict academic activities outside the revised hours, prohibiting sessions before 9 am and after 3:30 pm for all classes until January 25.

On Sunday, Bihar recorded a minimum temperature of 6.4°C and a maximum of 26°C at Dehri, while Patna registered a minimum of 11.9°C and a maximum of 22.1°C.
