SRINAGAR: Amid a persistent heatwave, the divisional administration of Kashmir on Sunday ordered the suspension of classes for students up to primary level in both govt and private schools on July 29 and 30. In an official order issued by the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, V K Bidhuri, however, said that the teaching staff in those schools shall continue to attend to their duties.
Bidhuri, in an order, said, “In view of the persistent heat wave prevailing in the valley, classwork for students up to the primary level in both govt and recognised private schools shall remain suspended on 29th and 30th July 2024.”
“However, all teaching and non-teaching staff shall continue to attend to their duties as usual,” read the official statement.
On the other hand, residents of the South Kashmir region of Anantnag seek relief from the intense summer heat in the refreshing waters of their local ponds and canals as the country experiences periodic heat waves. A resident of the area said because of global warming, people move to streams and ponds for relief.
