This decision has been made with the health and safety of children in mind.
The extreme temperatures have soared well beyond tolerable levels, making outdoor school activities risky. To shield children from the heat, the district administration has decided to shut schools for these two days. The order applies to all government and private schools, as clarified by the DM.
Currently, temperatures in Meerut district have crossed 45°C, putting children, senior citizens, and manual labourers at risk.
