Nahan/ Shimla, May 28
In light of the ongoing heatwave and extreme heat conditions, SDM Nahan, Salim Azam, has issued orders to close schools in the rural areas under the Nahan sub-division from May 29 to May 31, 2024. The decision comes as a precautionary measure to address the difficulties faced by students due to the scorching temperatures.
In the order issued by SDM Salim Azam, it is stated that the intense heat is causing significant problems for students. Additionally, there is an anticipated increase in the number of patients suffering from heat stroke, cardiovascular, and respiratory issues in hospitals, prompting this preventive action.
The order specifies that all public and private schools, play schools, and Anganwadi centers in the patwar circles of Khala-Kyar, Dadahu, Bankala, Mogi Nand, Trilokpur, Burma Papri, Balsar, Surla, and Nahan-Teen (rural) under the Nahan sub-division will remain closed from May 29 to May 31.
