Summer vacation was to start in the schools of Punjab after 10 days from today i.e. from 1st June. But due to rising temperatures, all schools have been ordered to close prematurely. Schools were to be closed from today itself but due to the order coming late, the holidays will start from tomorrow.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has announced holidays in all the schools of the state from May 21 to June 30. The Punjab government had given an order a few days ago, in which information about changing the timings of schools was given. But after the sudden change in weather and heatwave alert, orders were issued to close schools immediately. In fact, there was a fear of children’s health deteriorating due to strong sunlight and heat. To avoid this, schools have been closed.
