Bhubaneswar, June 18: Due to the prevailing heatwave conditions and the continued rise in temperatures across the state, the authorities have decided to keep schools closed in several districts until 20 June 2026. The decision has been taken as a precautionary measure to safeguard the health, safety, and well-being of students, teachers, and school staff from the adverse effects of extreme summer heat.
As temperatures remain unusually high in many areas, prolonged exposure to heat can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and other heat-related illnesses, particularly among children. Considering these risks, the district administrations and education authorities have extended the school closure period to ensure that students are not required to travel or attend classes during the ongoing heatwave.
During this period, parents and guardians are advised to keep children indoors as much as possible, encourage adequate hydration, and take necessary precautions against the extreme weather conditions. Schools are expected to resume normal operations after 20 June 2026, subject to further review of the weather situation and any additional instructions issued by the government or local authorities.
In summary, schools in various districts will remain closed until 20 June 2026 due to the ongoing heatwave and extreme summer conditions, with the primary objective of protecting students and educational staff from heat-related health risks.
