The Delhi government has ordered all schools, both private and government, to close immediately and commence summer vacation until June 30 due to severe heatwave conditions. With temperatures expected to reach 45 degrees Celsius, the decision aims to protect students' health. Neighboring states, including Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, have also declared early summer breaks. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts a hotter summer than usual for Delhi and surrounding regions. Schools in Haryana and Punjab are set to reopen on July 1, while Rajasthan has banned additional classes during the heatwave. The precautionary measure ensures student safety amid extreme temperatures.
