According to the recommendation of the district magistrate (DM), Lucknow, students should not be required to sit outside or in the open during classes, practicals, or examinations. Taking into consideration the cold temperature, the administration has requested that the restrictions on winter uniforms be relaxed. This would allow students to wear warm clothing as a means of protection.
The DM further proposed that, when possible, schools can offer classes through online mode. Only students are eligible to take advantage of this leave extension. Decisions about teaching and non-teaching staff will be determined by the employer or manager, taking into consideration their personal preferences.
