The morning temperature in the district is below five degrees and it was becoming very difficult for the parents to send their children to schools amid the cold wave. Many children are also falling ill due to the cold wave. The number of children suffering from cold, cough, viral fever and pneumonia in the hospitals in this district is increasing rapidly.
Recently, the representatives of the District Primary Teachers Association had met District Deputy Director of Primary Education Devendra Chandel and raised the demand for a change in the timings. The district deputy director placed it before the deputy commissioner and the opening timings of the primary schools were changed by one hour after deliberations.
