Guwahati: All Holidays For Schools Under Kamrup (M) Withdrawn Due To Improved Weather

GUWAHATI: Just a day after the decision to close the schools till 27th September due to excessive heat was announced, the order has now been withdrawn with immediate effect.

The reversal was informed by the District Elementary Education Officer Cum DMC Axom Sarba Siksha Abhijan Mission, Kamrup (M) via an official order dated 24th September, 2024.

The District Commissioner of Kamrup Metro also gave the permission to go ahead with this decision.

This means that all the government, provincialized and private schools in Kamrup Metro will resume normal classes from tomorrow, i.e from 25th September, 2024.

Notably, the order dated 20th September, 2024 mandated the schools functioning under Kamrup (M) to start from 7:30 AM and wrap up the classes latest by 12:30 noon.

All the heads of the institutions were asked to ensure that morning assemblies are conducted inside the classroom.
