Jharkhand private schools revise timings as heatwave warning pushes temperatures towards 44 degrees Celsius

Private schools in Jharkhand have revised their schedules following a Meteorological Department warning of temperatures reaching 44 degrees Celsius across North India. The Unaided Schools Association has directed schools to begin classes at 6:45 AM and close by 11:30 AM to limit students exposure to peak heat. The decision, supported by all member schools, prioritises childrens health. Parents have been informed through digital channels, while doctors have advised hydration and light clothing.
