As mercury soars, Schools in Delhi-NCR revise timings

As scorching heatwave sizzles parts of Central and Northern India, the schools in the national capital have directed the students to stay hydrated and stock ORS and glucose sachets. 

The institutions have also restricted the timings of outdoor activities.

To recall, the parents had earlier urged the Delhi government to either revise the school timings or advance summer vacations. 

The guardians also claimed that the school timings are not feasible for children to step out in extreme heat conditions.

The Haryana government on Monday had announced that due to the intense heatwave prevalent throughout the state, the timings of all schools government and private will be from 7 am to 12 pm for Classes 1 to 12 with effect from May 4.
