Gurugram: The Gurugram district administration has extended the winter vacation in schools (up to Class 8) by a week in view of the extreme cold and foggy conditions. The winter vacation commenced on December 25 and was to end on January 8, said officials.
Gurugram deputy commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav on Saturday said that the state education board issued a circular to extend the winter break due to the extreme weather conditions. “All private and government schools will remain closed until January 15 and physical classes will be organised for only board students. A few schools want to conduct online classes starting Monday,” he said.
The city recorded the season’s lowest minimum temperature of 2.5 degrees Celsius on Saturday.
