In double-shift schools, the first shift will be from 7:55 am to 12:30 pm while the second shift will be from 12:40 pm to 5:15 pm.'

Haryana Education Department has sent a letter to all the district education officers of the state asking them to implement this order.

Apart from this, the Gurugram administration has suspended physical classes from nursery to fifth until further notice.

The administration has taken this step because of the bad air quality in Delhi/NCR. The Deputy Commission of Faridabad has also ordered to close all schools from Class 1 to 5th from November 7 to 12. Also, the central government has declared an early winter break from November 9 to 19 due to severe air pollution in the city.

Simultaneously, the University of Delhi has also announced an early winter break from November 13 to 19 due to air pollution. The order in this regard was issued on November 10, 2023.
