Delhi-NCR schools revise timings, curb outdoor activities as mercury soars
Last Updated : 08 May 2022 08:42:34 PM IST

 

With the heatwave sweeping the national capital, the schools are now taking measures including revision of school timings, restricting outdoor activities, stocking oral rehydration syrups (ORS) and glucose sachets and motivating children to remain hydrated, news agency PTI reported.

A torrid heatwave had sent the mercury soaring across large swathes of India with the temperature in Delhi rising to 46 degrees Celsius. The national capital also recorded its second hottest April in 72 years with a monthly average maximum temperature of 40.2 degrees Celsius.

Earlier, the parents here have urged the Delhi government to either revise the school timings or advance the summer holidays. Though several schools had announced reduction in outdoor activities, parents claimed that the school timings are not feasible for students to step out in this extreme heat.

The Haryana government had on last Monday announced that due to intense heatwave prevalent throughout the state, 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. However, no such measures were announced in Delhi.
