The Angul district administration extended the summer vacation for schools until June 20, citing the intense heatwave conditions across the region. Authorities confirmed that schools will reopen on June 22.
Officials stated that the decision was taken to safeguard students from the rising temperatures, which have disrupted normal routines. The extension applies to all government and private schools in the district.
The administration reviewed weather reports before announcing the extension. With temperatures soaring, officials emphasised that the safety of children remains the top priority. Parents welcomed the move, noting that the heatwave has made outdoor activities difficult for students.
Teachers and school authorities have been instructed to prepare for reopening with necessary precautions. The administration also advised schools to ensure adequate drinking water and ventilation once classes resume.
