Early summer vacation for Indore students due to intense heat wave

Indore administration has declared early summer vacation for students up to Class VIII in view of intense heat-wave conditions in the district.

District Collector Aakash Tripathi has asked all government and private schools to stop teaching sessions and declare vacation for students from Class I to VIII, official sources said on Saturday.

The two-month-long vacation in schools normally starts from May 1 but due to prevailing heat-wave conditions, the administration has decided to advance the holiday period this year, they said.

The administration's order came into effect from April 21. To provide relief to students in Std IX to XII, the schools have been asked to wind up classes by 12.30 pm.
