Amid hot weather conditions prevailing in the state for the past several days, the
Haryana government has decided to change timings of all schools with effect from
Wednesday.
Haryana Education Minister Kanwar Pal Gujjar said that due to intense heatwave
prevalent throughout the state, it has been decided that 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.
It further stated that there had been a demand from parents that in view of the scorching
heat, the school timings be revised from 8 am to 2.30 pm to 7 am to 12 pm. Moreover,
for the past several days, maximum temperatures at most places in Haryana have
hovered in the range of 41-45 degrees Celsius.
